Answers with Complete Reference Verse & Explanation
1.
Answer: fullness, dwell
Reference: Psalm 24:1 –
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that
dwell therein.”
Explanation: Everything in the world
belongs to God, emphasizing stewardship rather than mere possession.
2.
Answer: seas, floods
Reference: Psalm 24:2 –
“For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.”
Explanation: Subtle trick here—“waters”
is close but not the KJV wording. “Seas” and “floods” are precise.
3.
Answer: holy
Reference: Psalm 24:3 –
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy
place?”
Explanation: It emphasizes purity
needed to stand in God’s presence; “holy” is the exact word, not “sacred” or
“mountain.”
4.
Answer: hands, pure, vanity, deceit
Reference: Psalm 24:4 –
“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul
unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.”
Explanation: Subtle trap: suffix “-ly”
is part of “deceitfully.” The quiz tests exactness.
5.
Answer: Lord, righteousness
Reference: Psalm 24:5 –
“He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of
his salvation.”
Explanation: Some might think “grace”
fits, but the verse specifies “righteousness.”
6.
Answer: heads, doors, King
Reference: Psalm 24:7 –
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and
the King of glory shall come in.”
Explanation: Tricky because gates and
doors appear twice. Precision matters.
7.
Answer: strong, battle
Reference: Psalm 24:8 –
“Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in
battle.”
Explanation: “Almighty” is tempting,
but KJV uses “strong and mighty.”
8.
Answer: hosts, King
Reference: Psalm 24:10 –
“Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.”
Explanation: “Hosts” refers to
heavenly armies; a subtle reminder of God’s ultimate authority.
