Psalm PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 96:1. God’s kingship over all creation means that all people should love and worship him. The psalm has three sections, each beginning with a command (“sing,” v. Psalms 96:1; “ascribe,” v. Psalms 96:7; “say,” v. Psalms 96:10), and each mentioning the Gentiles. God called Israel to be a means of blessing for all mankind, bringing them knowledge of the true God. This psalm appears in 1 Chronicles 16:23, indicating that the people sang a version of it when David brought the ark to Jerusalem.
