Psalms 99 WBT
Summary: An enthronement psalm structured around a threefold refrain declaring God's holiness — "for he is holy" (v. 3, 5, 9) — opening "The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble" (v. 1) and picturing him enthroned "between the cherubims" (v. 1). It uniquely recalls three specific intercessors from Israel's history — "Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name" (v. 6) — who called on the LORD and were answered, including from "the cloudy pillar" (v. 7). It closes urging worship "at his holy hill," since the LORD their God is holy.
1The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth [between] the cherubim; let the earth be moved.
2The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all people.
3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is] holy.
4The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for] he [is] holy.
6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.
8Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God [is] holy.
