Psalm 99 - Worship at God's Holy Hill

Moses, Aaron, and Samuel are named as examples of prayers God answered.

Psalms 99: The LORD Reigneth, Let the People Tremble

Psalm 99 closes out the run of enthronement psalms, opening 'the LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims,' continuing directly from Psalms 98's celebration of victory.


A psalm of praise.

Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name:

For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.

It specifically recalls Moses, Aaron, and Samuel as priests who 'called upon the LORD, and he answered them,' urging readers to 'worship at his footstool,' language paralleled in <a href="/bible/drc/psalms/chapter-132/7">Psalms 132:7</a>. The call to worship at God's holy hill leads straight into the joyful <a href="/bible/drc/psalms/chapter-100">Psalms 100</a>.
