Melech HaKavod — King of Glory
מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד
The King of Glory — the name the gates of Psalm 24 are commanded to admit.
Sung in Jewish liturgy when the ark opens; sung in churches on Ascension and Palm Sunday. Paul's 'Lord of glory' quietly seats Messiah in the psalm's gates. Kingship and kavod — weight, substance, glory — meet in one title.
