'Our God Is Lord Of All'

The story behind Psalm 96 is found in 1 Chronicles 16. The Ark of the Covenant was being taken up to its new home in Jerusalem - the newly conquered city that David has taken as his capital in his role as king over all Israel.

It is a joyful song of praise and as the Psalm progresses it changes scale to include ever widening circles in the praise of the one true God who is Lord of all.

Main Points:

  1. A Command to the People of God
  2. A Challenge to the Nations
