Advent Reading 9: Psalm 99

I thought it might be nice if we transition out of our week of "God With Us" by meditating on Psalm 99. This psalm carries in it the concepts of the sovreignty of God, His choice of leadership, His worshiping community around the world, and the manifestation of His power.

The LORD reigns, let the nations tremble;
He sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.
Great is the LORD in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.
Let them praise your great and awesome name- he is holy.

The King is mighty, he loves justice-
You have established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right.
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests,
Samuel was among those who called on his name;
They called on the LORD and he answered them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;
They kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

O LORD our God, you answered them;
You were to them a forgiving God, an avenger of the wrongs done to them.
Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his holy mountain,
For the LORD our God is holy.
