Psalm 99

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 99:5

At his footstool; before the ark, which is so called, 1 Chronicles 28:2; Psalms 132:7. For he is holy; or rather, for it, to wit, the ark, is holy; it is consecrated to be a pledge of God’s presence, and the only place of God’s public worship. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 99:6

He presseth them to perform the duty of praising and worshipping God by the examples of three eminent persons who practised this duty, and that with happy success. He reckoneth Moses among the priests not without cause, partly because before the institution of the priesthood he executed that office, Exodus 24:6; Numbers 7:0; and partly because he oft interceded to God for the people; which was a very considerable part of the priest’s work. See Numbers 6:23, &c.; Joel 2:17. That call upon... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 99:7

Unto them, i.e. to some of them; for the expression is only indefinite, and therefore doth not necessarily reach to all of them: to Moses frequently; to Aaron, Exodus 19:24; Exodus 33:9-11; Numbers 12:5; and for Samuel, he answered him, if not by words, yet really and by his actions, thundering against the Philistines, 1 Samuel 7:9, &c, which supposeth a cloud, if not a cloudy pillar. They kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them: this is added, not only for their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 99:8

Answeredst them; the intercessors before mentioned. Forgavest them; either, 1. Moses and Aaron, who did sin, and whose sins God did pardon, yet so that he did punish them with exclusion from the land of Canaan; of which see Numbers 20:12; Deuteronomy 32:50,Deuteronomy 32:51. Or rather, 2. The people for whom they prayed; which, though not expressed, may be easily understood from the following words, and from the histories to which these words relate. For this forgiving was evidently the effect... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 99:1-9

INTRODUCTIONThis Psalm is one of the series of Psalms which celebrate the Kingship of Jehovah. “All these Psalms,” says Perowne, “alike tell of the setting up of a Divine kingdom upon earth. All alike anticipate the event with joy. One universal anthem bursts from the whole wide world to greet the advent of the righteous King. Not Zion only and the daughters of Judah are glad, but the dwellers in far-off islands and the ends of the earth. Even inanimate nature sympathises with the joy; the sea... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 99:8

Psalms 99:8 The truths that lie in the text are these: pardon and retribution are ever united. They spring from one source of holy love, and they ought to become to us the occasions of solemn and thankful praise. "Exalt the Lord our God, for He is holy." "Thou forgavest them, and didst punish their inventions." I. Notice, first, that forgiveness is at bottom the undisturbed communication of the love of God to sinful men. We are too apt to think that God pardons men in the fashion in which the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 99:1-9

Psalms 99:1-9 The LORD reigneth ( Psalms 99:1 );Starts out as did Psalms 97:1-12 . "The Lord reigneth."let the people tremble: he sits between the cherubims; let the earth be moved ( Psalms 99:1 ).Now the cherubims are an angelic class. They are described in Revelation, chapter 4 and in Ezekiel, chapter 1 and chapter 10. In the descriptions that are given in Ezekiel, the flying saucer, just say that that's exactly what flying saucers look like and their movement as are described in Ezekiel. And... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 99:1-9

All the Versions ascribe this psalm to David, except the Chaldee, which, like the Hebrew, has no title. The occasion of its being composed is not known. Psalms 99:1 . He sitteth between the cherubims, or mighty angels, as promised in Exodus 25:22; and when he is roused, all his enemies faint away. Psalms 99:6 . Samuel among them that call upon his name. Samuel among the Jews is accounted the prince of the prophets; and scarcely a prophet of note is found, from Moses to this great and... read more
