Psalm 99

“The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake” (1). The whole earth trembles and shakes at the awesome power of our Creator God, yet we also rejoice. Rather than hide in terror, we praise Him because He loves justice and does what is “just and right” for everyone (4-5). He doesn’t use His power to crush us; instead, He gets involved and helps us. Moses, Aaron, Samuel and others “called on the Lord and He answered them” (6).

“Lord our God, you answered them” (8). We can confidently call out to the Lord who is not only Almighty, but also the Savior who hears and responds to our needs.
