PSALM 97
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles and coastlands be glad!
2
Clouds and darkness are round about Him [as at Sinai]; righteousness and jsutice are the foundation of His throne. [Exod 19.9]3
Fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries round about.4
His lightnings illumine the world; the earth sees and trembles.5
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.6
The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory.9
For You, Lord, are high above all the earth; You are exalted for above all gods.
PSALM 98
A Psalm.
O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have wrought salvation for Him.
2
The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness has He openly shown in the sight of the nations. [Luke 2.30,31]3
He has [earnestly] remembered His mercy and loving-kindness, His truth and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have witnessed the salvation of our God. [Acts 13.47; 28.28]4
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
PSALM 99
The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble [with reverential fear]! He sits [enthroned] above the cherubim, let the earth quake!
2
The Lord is great in Zion, and He is high above all the peoples.3
Let them confess and praise Your great name, awesome and reverence inspiring! It is holy, and holy is He! [Rev 15.4]9
Extol the Lord our God and worship at His holy hill, for the Lord our God is holy!
