Psalms: Psalms Chapter 99
Psalms Chapter 99
The LORD reigneth; let the (a) people tremble: he sitteth [between] the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
(a) When God delivers his Church all the enemies will have reason to tremble.
Let them (b) praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.
(b) Though the wicked rage against God, the godly will praise his Name and mighty power.
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his (c) footstool; [for] he [is] holy.
(c) That is, before his temple or ark, where he promised to hear when they worshipped him, as now he promises his spiritual presence, wherever his Church is assembled.
Moses and Aaron among his priests, (d) and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
(d) Under these three he comprehends the whole people of Israel, with whom God made his promise.
Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of (e) their inventions.
(e) The more liberally God deals with his people, the more he punishes them who abuse his benefits.
