Notes

Psalms 24:1

The Lord made the earth and everything in it, and now he rules over it (see 1 Corinthians 10:25–26). He sees all its people (Psalm 33:14), no matter their status (49:1–2).

Psalms 24:1–2

The kingdom belongs to the Creator, the Great King (see Psalm 22:27).

Psalms 24:1–10

The shepherd from Psalm 23, who is also the King of the world, takes control of Zion.

Psalms 20:1–24:10

This series of psalms shows a journey from confidence and commitment (Psalms 20–21), through anguish and abandonment (Psalm 22), and finally to comfort, insight, and hope (Psalms 23–24).

Psalms 23:1–28:9

These psalms develop the importance of:

integrity (Psalms 25:4–7, 12–14, 21; 26:6, 11; 27:7–12),
God's care as a shepherd (Psalms 23:1; 28:9),
God's guidance (Psalms 23:2–3; 25:5; 27:11),
God's goodness (Psalms 23:6; 25:7–8; 27:13), and
living in his house (Psalms 23:6; 26:8; 27:4, 8).
