24. They have seen thy goings, O God. In the
song the marchings of the Lord had been described; friends and foes had seen
his goings forth with the ark and his people. We suppose that the procession
was now climbing the hill, and entering the enclosure where the tabernacle of
the ark was pitched; it was suitable at this moment to declare with song that
the tribes had seen the glorious progress of the Lord as he led forth his
people. Even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The
splendid procession of the ark, which symbolized the throne of the great King,
was before the eyes of men and angels as it ascended to the holy place; and the
psalmist points to it with exultation. All nature and providence are, as it
were, a procession attending the great Lord. Winter and summer, sun and moon,
storm and calm, and all the varied glories of nature swell the pomp of the King
of kings.
