Ps 96:1-13.
英文原文
Ps 96:1-13.
The substance of this Psalm, and portions of the ninety-seventh, ninety-eighth, and hundredth, are found in
1Ch 16:7-36,
which was used by David's directions in the dedication of the tabernacle on Mount Zion. The dispensation of the Messiah was typified by that event, involving, as it did, a more permanent seat of worship, and the introduction of additional and more spiritual services. Hence the language of these Psalms may be regarded as having a higher import than that pertinent to the occasion on which it was thus publicly used.
