Psalm 124 | Who Is This King of Glory?

On the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the Church celebrates the moment when Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus into the Temple, fulfilling the Law and unknowingly welcoming the King of Glory into His holy dwelling. Psalm 24 becomes a prophetic song on this day. Written centuries before Christ, it resounds as a processional psalm, calling out to the gates of the Temple to lift themselves up, for the Lord Himself is entering. In the light of Candlemas, this psalm finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ — the hidden Messiah, carried in the arms of Mary, received by Simeon, and proclaimed as “a light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory for Israel.” As Simeon holds the child, the ancient question echoes anew: “Who is this King of glory?” The answer is no longer symbolic or distant — it is personal, tangible, and alive: “It is the Lord!” This responsorial psalm invites every believer to become a living gate, to open the doors of the heart, and to allow Christ the King to enter. The Presentation is not only a historical event; it is a call to inner consecration, humility, and surrender — to receive Christ as Lord, Light, and Salvation. May this psalm lead us into deeper worship, reverent silence, and joyful proclamation of Christ, the King of Glory, who comes to dwell among His people.
