Psalms 24:10

"Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Armies is the King of glory! Selah."

Key Reflection

Psalms 24:10 proclaims that the Lord of Hosts, or the covenant-keeping God who rules over all, is the true King of Glory. The phrase "Selah" suggests a moment for reflection on the divine majesty and the significance of this proclamation in distinguishing between false and true kingship.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Who is this King of glory? -See the notes atPsalms 24:8. The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory -On the meaning of the phrase, “the Lord of hosts,” see the notes atIsaiah 1:9. The essential idea is, that God rules over the universe of worlds considered as marshalled in order, or arrayed as hosts or armies are for battle. All are under His command. The stars in the sky, that seem to be marshalled and led forth in such perfect and beautiful order - the inhabitants of heaven in their different orders and ranks - all these acknowledge Him, and submit to Him as the supreme God.
