Songs for 1 Samuel 4

1 Samuel 4:1–22 (ESV)

1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel.Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines. They encamped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek.

Psalm 99

Psalm 99:1–9 testifies to the Lord ruling above the cherubim. This would be a good song to sing at the beginning of the worship service.

Psalm 78

Psalm 78 testifies to the history of Israel. Psalm 78:51–55 testify to the Lord’s redemptive work in bringing his people into the land of Canaan and driving out the nations before them. This might be a good section to sing immediately before your Bible reading. Psalm 78:56–64 testifies to the destruction of Shiloh that presumably followed the events recorded in 1 Samuel 4. This might be a good song to sing after your sermon, or possibly before you preach from 1 Samuel 5.
