991 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.
991 The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
991 God rules. On your toes, everybody! He rules from his angel throne - take notice!
991 The Lord reigns; Let the peoples tremble! He dwells between the cherubim; Let the earth be moved!
991 The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 99:1
Commentary on Psalm 99:1-5
(Read Psalm 99:1-5)
God governs the world by his providence, governs the church by his grace, and both by his Son. The inhabitants of the earth have cause to tremble, but the Redeemer still waits to be gracious. Let all who hear, take warning, and seek his mercy. The more we humble ourselves before God, the more we exalt him; and let us be thus reverent, for he is holy.
