Psa 24:1-2 CSB A psalm of David. The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the LORD; (2) for he laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers.
As the throng nears the city, the announcement rings out that the earth and everything in it belong to God. It is a statement of divine ownership and of Christ’s full right to reign. Then the reason is given. Christ is the One who made the world. It was He who gathered the waters together in one place and made the dry land appear. It was He who formed the rivers, some on the surface of the earth and some beneath the ground. So now He is coming to claim what is really His own but has been denied to Him for centuries.
