On the surface, Psalm 24 describes David and his men as they approached the gates of Jerusalem with the ark of the covenant. And yet, in a much deeper sense, this is a prophetic description of the majestic scene of heaven directly after the ascension of Jesus. For the first time in history, a man actually approached the gates of heaven and demanded that the angelic beings, who guard them with swords of fire, open up those ancient doors for the very first time. Who is this King of glory? He is the God-man, Christ Jesus.

Psalm 23 is an account of everything God has already done for David in the past, as well as everything David is confident God will do for him in the future. But the chief end of all God's past provisions and future promises is found in the final phrase of verse 3: “...He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” All that God does is for “his name's sake.” In other words, all that God does is for his glory. And one if the chief ways God has chosen to bring glory to himself is by being good to his people.
