Commentary on Psalms 96:5

Theological / Devotional

Idols. Heb. ’elilim, “nothings.” There is apparently a play on words between ’elohim, the gods of the nations, and ’elilim, “things of nought” (see 1 Cor. 8:4).

Made the heavens. Because God alone created, He alone is to be praised (see Gen. 1:1; Ps. 95:5; 115:15; Isa. 42:5; 44:24; Jer. 10:11).
