Psalm 24
Wisdom / Royal (heavenly King)
The Mighty God Sees Those With Clean Hands and Pure Hearts
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
And who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood
And has not sworn deceitfully.
· Each kind [of vanity] shows a great lack of understanding, leads to self-deception, is unfriendly to truth, is without holidays, makes men sooner or later appear foolish, is very common, is very difficult of cure; and is always odious to right-minded people.
· From age to age Christ is gracious to the penitent, who tremble at his word, and call on his name.
