The Book of Psalms

Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET

PSALM 99

Psa 99:1-9. God's government is especially exercised in and for His Church, which should praise Him for His gracious dealings.

      1. sitteth. . . cherubim--(compare 1Sa 4:4 Psa 80:1 ).
      tremble. . . be moved--inspired with fear by His judgments on the wicked.

      2. great in Zion--where He dwells ( Psa 9:11 ).

      3. thy. . . name--perfections of justice, power, &c.
      great and terrible name--producing dread ( Deu 10:17 ), and to be praised by those over whom He is exalted ( Psa 97:9 ).
      it is holy--or, "He is holy" ( Psa 99:5, 9 Isa 6:3 ).

      4, 5. To His wise and righteous government all nations should render honor.
      king's. . . judgment--His power is combined with justice.
      he is holy--(compare Psa 22:3 ).

      6-8. The experience of these servants of God is cited for encouragement.
      among. . . priests, among. . . upon the Lord [and] He spake. . . pillar--may be referred to all three (compare Exd 18:19 Lev 8:15 Deu 5:5 1Sa 9:13 ).

      7. cloudy pillar--the medium of divine intercourse ( Exd 33:9 Num 12:5 ). Obedience was united with worship. God answered them as intercessors for the people, who, though forgiven, were yet chastened ( Exd 32:10, 34 ).
