Psalms 24:7

Lift up your heads As though they were too low and mean for the entrance of "the high and lofty one" who comes, and in token that all resistance is at an end.

ye everlasting doors Or, ye ancient doors, venerable with unknown antiquity.

and the King&c. Or, that the King of glory may come in. The Ark, "which is called by the Name, even the name of the Lord of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim" (2 Samuel 6:2) was the symbol of Jehovah's majesty and the pledge of His Presence among His people (Numbers 10:35-36). When the ark was lost, "the glory departed from Israel" (1 Samuel 4:21). Cp. Psalms 19:1, note.
