Psalms 24 divides into three parts. Verses 1-2 declares that the Earth is the Lord's. It is His creation and He is the owner. Verses 3-6 asks, "Who is worthy to rule the Earth?" This is a prophetic question - pointing to Jesus as the King of David. Verses 7 - 10 answers the question with the pronouncement of the King of glory entering the "ancient gates" and "ancient doors."
In Psalms 25, David expresses his faith and trust in God. As an interesting side-note, this Psalm is a Hebrew acrostic in that each line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In Psalm 26, the lament returns with David pleading for God to forgive David and restore his innocence.
