Notes

Psalms 99:1–5

The Lord is the holy and righteous King (Isaiah 6:1–5). Mount Zion, where the temple of the Lord is located, metaphorically stands as the highest point on earth (Psalm 113:4; Isaiah 2:2; 6:1). From this high place, the "great King" (Psalm 47:2) can see, rule over, and receive praise from all nations and peoples.

Psalms 99:1–9

The psalmist calls the nations to worship the Lord, the king of the earth who rules from Zion.

Psalms 93:1–100:5

These psalms challenge the doubts created by the exile (see Psalm 89) and answer the questions asked in Psalm 90:11, 13. The Lord has established a kingdom (Psalm 93) that is characterized by:

punishment of the wicked (Psalm 94),
respectful obedience among his people (Psalm 95),
justice for the poor (Psalm 96),
celebration in Zion (Psalm 97),
salvation for Israel (Psalm 98),
holiness (Psalm 99), and
praise (Psalm 100).
