Psalm 96 is one Psalm whose historic context we can nail
down with great accuracy. It was sung by
David when the Ark of the Covenant was brought up to Jerusalem. David brought the ark close, but it did not
enter Jerusalem until his son Solomon built that temple. This is the story from 1 Chronicles. Understand that the book of Chronicles is not
so much a historic document as a genealogical document, recording those in the
Lord’s nation who were present during these monumental times.
For added perspective, read the parallel account of David bringing the Ark up toward Jerusalem as found in 2 Samuel 7. There are wonderful similarities and differences in the purposes and the perspectives of the stories. It is akin to different points of view found in the parallel gospel accounts.
