Psalm 96


Psalm 96 is an appropriate choice of psalm to accompany the set Old Testament reading 1 Kings 18:20-21, (22-29), 30-39. The latter is about who is god, Yahweh or Baal? The people are called to make a choice. Psalm 96 is one of a grouping of psalms, especially Psalms 96-99 which celebrate Yahweh’s rule over all creation. This psalm is set as part of this group for reading on Christmas day each year. See the comments on Psalms 96-98 for Christmas.

Old Testament reading: 1 Kings 18:20-21, (22-29), 30-39
