The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:1-9
The holy God infinitely worthy of our worship. I. BECAUSE OF HIS UNIVERSAL SUPREMACY . ( Psalms 99:1-3 .) His power exercised for the ends of goodness. "He is great in Zion," the most beneficent institution. II. BECAUSE HE RULES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RIGHT AND TRUTH . ( Psalms 99:4 , Psalms 99:5 .) He is setting up throughout the world righteous order, establishing the dominion of right and justice. III. BECAUSE HE HEARS AND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:2
The Lord is great in Zion. Primarily great among his faithful ones, among whom his greatness is especially shown. And he is high above all the people (or rather, peoples ) . Secondarily great, or "high," among the nations which do not acknowledge him, but are forced to tremble before him (see Psalms 99:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:3
Let them praise thy great and terrible Name. Even the Gentiles, after conversion, will praise the Lord, sing of him, and bless his Name. (On the "greatness" and "terribleness" of God, see Exodus 15:11 ; Deuteronomy 7:21 ; Deuteronomy 10:17 ; Nehemiah 1:5 ; Nehemiah 4:14 ; Psalms 68:35 , etc.) For it is holy; rather, holy is he. This may be a suggestion to those about to praise God—a putting of words into their mouth; or it may be an almost involuntary outburst of praise on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:3
The holiness of God. Revised Version, "Holy is he." The refrain of the psalm is found in these words. Possibly it was given as a response by the congregation. What is prominent here, however, is not the purity that is in holiness, as the majesty that is in it, the severity that is in it. The psalmist is full of the "greatness" and the "terribleness" of the Divine Name, and this makes him say it is reverend, it is awe inspiring. It is one of the serious evils of our day, that the more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:4
The King's strength also loveth judgment. "The king" is here the Lord, Jehovah (see Psalms 98:3 ). His "strength," or might, "loves," and is always combined with, right (comp. Isaiah 61:8 , "I the Lord love judgment"). Thou dost establish equity. The pronoun is emphatic: "Thou, even thou"—nearly equivalent to "thou only"—"dost establish equity." Thou —again emphatic—"thou, even thou"— executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob ; i.e. governest thy people Israel with strict... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:5
Exalt ye the Lord our God (comp. Psalms 99:9 ; and see also Psalms 118:20 and Isaiah 25:1 ). And worship at his footstool. The "footstool of God" is everywhere (except in Isaiah 66:1 ) the ark of the covenant, which he that sat upon the cherubim touched, as it were, with his feet (see 1 Chronicles 28:2 ; Psalms 132:7 ; Lamentations 2:1 ; Isaiah 60:13 ). Israel is called upon to worship God as he sits in his holy temple, enthroned above the cherubim, with his feet upon the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:5
The Lord our God is holy. "This is the last of the series of royal psalms, of psalms which celebrate the coming of Jehovah as King. The first of the series is Psalms 93:1-5 . This opens with the announcement that 'Jehovah is King;' passes on to tell that his throne has been from everlasting, that he made the world, and that he rules it—rules the raging of the elements and the convulsions of political strife, of which that is the figure—and then concludes with one brief glance at his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 99:5
Our place at God's footstool. "And worship at his footstool;" "Worship at his holy hill;" "Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?" ( Isaiah 66:1 ). To understand this figure two things must be considered: Eastern thrones were high erections, so that the king, seated in his place, might be exalted (see expression in psalm) high above the people. The seat was reached by a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 99:8
Verse 8 8.O Jehovah our God The prophet here reminds them that God had heard their prayers because his grace and their piety harmonized. Consequently, encouraged by their exemplary success in prayer, their posterity ought to call upon God, not merely pronouncing his name with their lips, but keeping his covenant with all their heart. He farther reminds us that if God does not display his glory so bountifully, and so profusely in every age, the fault is with men themselves, whose posterity have... read more
