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.


The titil of the nyne and nyntithe salm. `A salm to knouleche; `in Ebrew `thus, A salm for knouleching.

Al erthe, singe ye hertli to God; serue ye the Lord in gladnesse. Entre ye in his siyt; in ful out ioiyng.

Wite ye, that the Lord hym silf is God; he made vs, and not we maden vs. His puple, and the scheep of his lesewe,

entre ye in to hise yatis in knoulechyng; entre ye in to hise porchis, `knouleche ye to him in ympnes.

Herye ye his name, for the Lord is swete, his merci is with outen ende; and his treuthe is in generacioun and in to generacioun.

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/wycliffe/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/wycliffe/psalms/chapter-100">Psalms 100</a>.
