Psalm 99:1 ¶ The LORD
reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let
the earth be moved. 2 The LORD is
great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for
it is holy. 4 The king’s strength
also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and
righteousness in Jacob. 5 Exalt ye the
LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
Thinking in terms of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, the
visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 1:3) who will
reign I find this Psalm powerful.
Psalm 93:1 ¶ The LORD
reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength,
wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot
be moved.
Psalm 96:10 ¶ Say among the
heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it
shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Psalm 97:1 ¶ The LORD
reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
For verse 2 notice these verses spoken about King David with David
as a type of Christ.
Psalm 89:20 I have found
David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:… 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my
God, and the rock of my salvation. 27
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
His name is Holy.
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried
unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth
is full of his glory.
Psalm 111:9 He sent
redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and
reverend is his name.
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn
by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not
return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Romans 14:11 For it is
written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every
tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:10 That at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in
earth, and things under the earth;
Christ is the mightiest of kings who will execute justice and
judgment in the earth, and all are equal before Him and He is higher than all.
God as God the Father, the Son of God or the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the Holy Ghost, all as one is the highest object of adoration and glory in
the universe, seen and unseen.
Psalm 99:6 ¶ Moses and
Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they
called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 7
He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and
the ordinance that he gave them. 8
Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest
them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his
holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Moses, Aaron, and Samuel, among others, were great men of God,
priest and prophets that called upon the Lord’s name and He spoke directly to
them. Speaking to them in Exodus in the pillar while they kept His testimonies
and commands, although imperfectly at times. God forgave them and yet brought
judgment on their sins in their own lives. We should lift our Lord, our God up
and worship Him for He is holy, separate and apart from us, worthy above all
things to be praised.
Christ has been judged for us, in our place, and our sins are laid
before the Cross at Calvary, and we are forgiven. This should cause us to
praise God if for nothing else although there are an infinite number of things
for which He should be praised.
