Commentary on Psalms 24:1

Theological / Devotional

The earth is the Lord’s. God has a right to the earth, to all that it contains, and to all its inhabitants, since He is Creator and Lord of the whole earth. This concept annihilates exclusiveness of Jew or Gentile. The verse is a perfect example of synonymous parallelism, the second half balancing, repeating, and enlarging the thought of the first half.
