SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Psalm 99 emphasizes the holiness of God and of everything associated with him. The Psalm calls us to worship this God.
     We must tremble (quiver) before the LORD who reigns and sits between the cherubim; and before him the earth must be moved (quake). The LORD is great in Zion and high above all people. Therefore, we should praise the LORD's great, and fearsome, and holy name (1-3).
     God -- (referred to as "the king's strength," because God strengthens the king) -- loves judgment, establishes equity, and executes judgment and righteousness in the land. He should, therefore, be exalted and worshiped for his holiness (4-5).
     Moses, Aaron, and Samuel called on God's name; and he answered them. He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar (chiefly at Sinai). They kept his commandments. And God answered them because he forgave them, even though he took vengeance on their inventions. The conclusion is that we should exalt the LORD God and worship him at his holy hill (the Tabernacle/Temple mount), because he is holy (6-9).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

from the time of David around 1016 B. C. to the close of the Canon in about 404 B. C.
Psalm 90, according to its superscription, was written by Moses; this may have been around 1406 B. C.

God's Greatness Among the Nations


Psalm 99

Map 1: Bible Nations | Map 2: Empire of David and Solomon Map 3: Kingdoms of Judah and Israel | Post Exile Chronology.


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.




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.


* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
