Philip,

what makes you certain that it is indicative and not a jussive?

HH: You raise the parallel of Psalm 15. The imperfect verb at the end of Psalm 15 is giving a promise, not expressing a wish. So I would expect a promise (imperfect verb) in Ps 24:5, not a wish (jussive verb).
Have I misunderstood you?

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
