Psalms 99

Psalms 99:1

Heavens - The highest heavens; dwelling there in infinite glory, and from thence looking down upon all the inhabitants of the earth, and ruling them by his almighty power. Of old - From the beginning of the world; whereas the ark was only some hundred years old. A voice - His gospel, published by Christ and his apostles, assisted by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which might well be called God’s voice, and that a mighty voice, because it produced such great and wonderful effects.

Psalms 99:2

Ascribe - Acknowledge that he is able to do whatsoever he pleaseth. Excellency - His excellent power and goodness. Is over - Dwells among them. He is indeed the universal Lord, but in a special manner, he is the God of Israel.

Psalms 99:3

Terrible - Deservedly to be feared.

Psalms 99:5

Waters - Tribulations.

Psalms 99:8

I restored - For peace sake.

Psalms 99:9

My sins - But O Lord, although I have been innocent to mine enemies, I am guilty of many sins and follies against thee.
