Muslims might argue that the Psalms do not explicitly affirm the deity of Jesus and that worship is reserved for God alone.

The Psalms clearly articulate the supremacy of Yahweh over all other gods, emphasizing His unique position as the Creator and sovereign ruler. For instance, Psalm 95:3 states that 'the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods,' which establishes the foundation for understanding divine authority and worship. Furthermore, the Psalms proclaim that even the heavenly beings recognize Yahweh's sovereignty, as seen in Psalm 96:7, which calls upon the angels to worship Him. In the New Testament, Jesus is presented as the fulfillment of these Old Testament prophecies and attributes. John 1:1 declares, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,' indicating that Jesus shares the same divine essence as Yahweh. This connection is further reinforced by Jesus' own claims to divinity, such as in John 10:30, where He states, 'I and the Father are one.' Additionally, the worship of Jesus by His followers, as recorded in the Gospels, aligns with the biblical precedent established in the Psalms for worshiping the one true God. For example, Thomas' declaration in John 20:28, 'My Lord and my God!' exemplifies the recognition of Jesus' divine status. Thus, the Psalms not only affirm the uniqueness of Yahweh but also lay the groundwork for the understanding of Jesus' deity in the Christian faith.
