Let us worship God as King 24:3-6)

• In his holy place 24:3
• with clean hands 24:4
• with a pure heart 24:4
• in other words, “with moral integrity with respect to both actions and thoughts” (Craige)
• who does not lift up his soul to what is false (“not a worshiper of emptiness” Craige) 24:4
• does not swear deceitfully 24:4
• Let us be seek him 24:6

He is the King of Glory 24:7-10

(perhaps a reference to the return of the ark to Jerusalem in 2 Sam 6:12-19)

Who is this king of glory? 24:8

• the Lord strong and mighty
• the Lord mighty in battle

Who is this king of glory? 24:10

Open wide your doors 24:9
