Psalm 99-Exalt ye the LORD...for He is holy



Truth for Truckers” *May 9, 2014* Psalm 99 “Exalt ye the LORD…for He is holy

     Three Psalms begin with this declaration: “The LORD reigns”, Psalm 93, 97 and Psalm 99. This fact, that God is sovereign, that He rules in the events of the universe should give us peace in our hearts simply by knowing this one fact. This is what Paul understood when he wrote: “All things work together for good to  them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28).  

     Although this initial declaration is given in the first phrase, the theme of the Psalm is the holiness of God. This simple outline will help us to understand the Psalmist’s focus:

I.The Effect of God’s Holiness on the People (v.1-3)

II.The Effect of God’s Holiness on the King (v.4, 5)

III.The Effect of God’s Holiness on the Pastor, Priest and Prophet (v.6-9)

     The bottom line for us, Drivers, is given in three verses: “Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is holy…“Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; for He is holy…Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.” (v.3, 5, 9). We, the people of God must be a people who spontaneously praise and exalt the name of our God for He is holy!
