“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (v1). The true God cannot be found in false religion and sinful desires celebrated by humans. The One who created everything, to whom we belong, is found by those who turn from idols and seek his holiness (v4). The “clean hands and pure heart” of those who “stand in the holy place” are not the result of human righteousness. Instead, the person accepted by God is the one who knows their faults, turns from sin, and reaches out to welcome the “King of glory” (7-10).
“Who is this King of glory?” (v8). In Jesus, we see the mighty King of glory, Lord of universe, who entered our world to save us. Our response is to open the gates to receive him (v9).
