Psalms24:8
8. Who is the King of glory ? the LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battel .
This seems to be a Prolepsis, or removal of an Objection: You will say, What is the cause of this imperious Call? and why, or for whom must those Gates be opened, in so solemn and Extraordinary a manner?
This contains an Answer to the question, He is no ordinary Person, no meaner and no other than Iehovah, who hath given so many Proofs of his Almightiness, who hath subdued all his Enemies, and is now returned in Triumph. Here is in this, and the foregoing Verse, a sacred Dialogue between several Persons. And some suppose that the Sacred Musitians, which attended upon the Service of the Ark and Tabernacle, and were doubtless employed in this Solemnity, 2 Sam. 6. [illegible: 1+ letters]. were divided into two Quires, whereof one spake the former, and the other the latter Verse.
