Episode 35: Superstition is not worship

When King David brought the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, he had a song written for the occasion. As mentioned in the previous episode, the song—which can be found in 1 Chronicles 16—gives form and content to Psalms 105 and 106. Psalm 105, again, is celebratory. But in Psalm 106, the psalmist reminds the people of the danger of mistaking superstition for true worship.
