For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods - not that the pagan gods are realities (Psalms 96:4-5). The expression is adapted to the contrast drawn to the pagan view of Yahweh as a petty god inferior to their own gods. In Psalms 95:4-5 the idol gods are virtually denied not only superiority, but even existence. For the Lord has as his own alike the heights and the depths of the earth, the sea, and the land, so that nothing is left for them; and, as they have nothing, they must themselves be nothing.
