Psalm 99 NKJV
Praise to the Lord for His Holiness
99 The Lord reigns;
Let the peoples tremble!
He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be [a]moved!
2 The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
[b]He is holy.
4 The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called upon His name;
They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the [c]ordinance He gave them.
8 You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His holy hill;
For the Lord our God is holy.

Psalm 99 Commentary
The LORD Reigns
Then the psalmist describes the reign of the LORD: Greatness, awesome, holiness, justice, righteousness, and forgiveness.
Let mortals respond with worship at His footstool. Verse 5.
The LORD reigns in the present. Let the peoples tremble; let the earth shake. It is all in the present. There is no delegation; there is neither a gap nor absence. The captain hasn’t abandoned the ship. The LORD reigns.
Trembling is for the nations. Shaking is for the earth. They shall see and exalt the great name of the LORD. But Jacob shall worship at His footstool and experience the holiness of the LORD.
Israel interacts with the LORD from a position of worship. Just like Moses and Aaron, and also Samuel, the saint can call upon the LORD and expect the LORD to respond.
Indeed, the LORD responded by giving Moses, Aaron, and Samuel laws to follow. The world defines its own rules, but the LORD responds by giving His people laws and regulations.
The LORD responds by giving us laws and regulations to follow. Let justice, righteousness, and holiness define the saint’s daily activities. The saint shall live by these laws and regulations.
