Psalms 99:1-9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The holy God infinitely worthy of our worship.

I. BECAUSE OF HIS UNIVERSAL SUPREMACY. (Psalms 99:1-3.) His power exercised for the ends of goodness. "He is great in Zion," the most beneficent institution.

II. BECAUSE HE RULES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RIGHT AND TRUTH. (Psalms 99:4, Psalms 99:5.) He is setting up throughout the world righteous order, establishing the dominion of right and justice.

III. BECAUSE HE HEARS AND ANSWERS THOSE WHO PRAY TO HIM. (Psalms 99:6, Psalms 99:7.) Grants them their need; speaks to their minds; reveals his Law and his will to them; still guides as he guided his ancient people.

IV. BECAUSE HE IS MERCIFUL TO THE PENITENT. (Psalms 99:8.) "Thou wast a God that forgavest them."

V. BECAUSE HE PUNISHES THE IMPENITENT. (Psalms 99:8.) This is as great a necessity of his nature and rule as that he should pardon the penitent. He is holy.—S.
