Psalms 99

Psalms 99:1

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

The Lord of Heaven ruleth and defendeth his Church, and executes judgments upon the enemies of it; let all the people of the world therefore, in an humble fear, submit themselves to him: he manifesteth his presence upon his mercy-seat, between the cherubims; let the earth therefore tremble at his majesty, and be afraid to oppose him and his Church.

Psalms 99:5

And worship at his footstool.

Worship him, and bow down upon the pavement of his sanctuary.

Psalms 99:6

Moses and Aaron, among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

How gracious respect God gives to his faithful ones, doth well appear in those proofs of his merciful audience which he gave to Moses and Aaron, among the prime rulers and peers of his Church, and to Samuel amongst his prophets; all which were intercessors for God’s people, upon many occasions, and were heard so far as to prevail for them.
