Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 99:4
"The king's strength also loveth justice;Thou dost establish equity;Thou executist justice and righteousness in Jacob,Exalt ye Jehovah our God,And worship at his footstool:Holy is he.""The king's strength loveth justice" (Psalms 99:4). "What is meant is the theocratic kingship,"[10] being, of course, a reference to the earthly kings of Israel. We cannot accept this, because practically none of those kings either loved justice or established equity. "`The King,' here is the Lord."[11] "Surely... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 99:3-4
Psalms 99:3-4. Let them, &c.— They shall praise, they shall do homage to thy great and terrible name, because it is holy: Green adds, and powerful, from the next verse, which he renders thus: The king loveth judgment: But Mudge renders it, Though the king be strong he loveth judgment: And he observes, that the latter part of the verse refers to the body of laws which God had given at Sinai. Dr. Delaney supposes, that as this psalm was composed when David was settled in his kingdom, so this... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 99:1-3
Because the God who reigns is so great, everyone should tremble in reverential fear. In the temple, God dwelt between the cherubim (1 Kings 6:23-28; cf. Psalms 80:1). The cherubim were representations of angelic beings that symbolically guarded the holiness of God. "Holy" means different. In particular, God is holy in that He is different from man whom sin saturates. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 99:1-9
Psalms 97-100 God the universal kingPsalms 97:0 follows on from the thought on which the previous psalm closed (namely, that God is king over the earth). It shows that holiness, righteousness and justice are the basis of God’s kingdom. His judgment will be as universal as a flash of lightning and as powerful as an all-consuming fire (97:1-5). Every thing will bow before his rule (6-7). His own people already recognize him as Lord and bring him fitting worship (8-9). They can experience the... read more
