Psalm 96:4-5
“For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.”
This passage is from a psalm of praise, calling all the earth to worship Yahweh. It was likely written for public worship in ancient Israel, possibly after the return from exile, celebrating God's universal reign and distinguishing him from other deities.
What does it mean to acknowledge one God who created everything, especially when surrounded by many competing ideas of what is worthy of devotion?
