Gill's Notes on the Bible
Lift up your heads, O ye gates even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
:-. This is repeated on account of the backwardness and negligence of churches, and particular believers, to open and let Christ in; as may be seen in the case of the church in Song of Solomon 5:2; as well as the more to set forth the greatness and glory of Christ, about to make his entrance, and to command a proper awe and reverence of him: some think respect is had to the twofold coming of Christ; first into the second temple, and next at the last judgment; though rather the certainty of his coming, in a spiritual manner, to his church and people, is here designed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Lift up your heads ... - The repetition here is designed to give force and emphasis to what is uttered. The response in Psalms 24:5 is slightly varied from the response in Psalms 24:8; but the same general sentiment is expressed. The design is to announce in a solemn manner that the symbol of the divine presence and majesty was about to be introduced into the place of its permanent abode, and that this was an event worthy to be celebrated; that even the gates of the city should voluntarily open themselves to admit the great and glorious King who was to reign there forever.
