<p id="Chapter96" align="center">Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET<br>PSALM 96
|
|
<p id="Ps96_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',96,'1-13');">Psa 96:1-13</a>.
|
|
<p>The substance of this Psalm, and portions of the ninety-seventh, ninety-eighth, and hundredth, are found in <a onclick="return mV('1Ch',16,'7-36');">1Ch 16:7-36</a>, 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.
