Lift Up Your Heads David asks two probing questions in this psalm: “Who may ascend … or who may stand in His holy place?” (v. 3), and “Who is this King of glory?” (v. 8) One question asks for the qualifications of the worshiper; the other asks the age-old question, who is the God we worship? Who stands in His presence? “Those who seek Him” (v. 6). Those with clean hands and pure heart; those who have not lifted up their soul to an idol nor sworn deceitfully. These shall stand. Those who come to God receive blessing and vindication. Who is the King of glory? He is God the Creator (vv. 1, 2). And the earth is the Lord’s. But He is also the personal God of Jacob (vv. 3–6). He is knowable and personally available. He places personal demands on people, and blesses personally and saves personally. He is God the King, the triumphant God (vv. 7–10). He is strong, mighty in battle, the King of glory! Lift up your heads and the King of glory will come in! Learn more at www.jackhayford.org
