Clarke's Psalms 24:3 Bible Commentary
Who shall ascend - Who is sufficiently holy to wait in his temple? Who is fit to minister in the holy place?
Barnes's Psalms 24:3 Bible Commentary
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? - Mount Zion; called the hill of the Lord, because it was the place designated for His worship, or the place of His abode. See the notes at Psalm 15:1. The idea here is, "Who shall ascend there with a view of abiding there? Who is worthy to dwell there?" The question is equivalent to asking, What constitutes true religion? What is required for the acceptable worship of God? What will prepare a person for heaven?
Or who shall stand in his holy place? - In the tabernacle, or in the place where he is worshipped. Compare the notes at Psalm 1:5. Who is worthy to stand before God? Who has the qualifications requisite to constitute the evidence of his friendship?
Wesley's Psalms 24:3 Bible Commentary
24:3 The hill - Zion or Moriah, the place of God's sanctuary and special presence. Having asserted God's dominion over all mankind, he now proposes an important question, by whom God will be served, and his blessing enjoyed? Stand - To minister before him. Standing is the posture of ministers or servants. Who shall serve God, with God's acceptation. Holy place - In the place which he hath sanctified for his service.
