Psalms 99

Berean Standard Bible

Chapter summary

The Lord reigns from His throne above the cherubim, causing the nations and the earth to tremble while holding a position of greatness in Zion. People are called to praise His great and awesome name and to worship at His footstool because He is holy and loves justice and equity. Moses, Aaron, and Samuel are named among His priests and those who called upon His name, and the Lord answered them from the pillar of cloud. These figures kept His decrees and statutes, and while the Lord forgave them, He also acted as an avenger of their misdeeds. The psalm concludes with a final call to exalt the Lord and worship at His holy mountain, affirming that the Lord our God is holy.
