Psalms 98:9

People] RV 'peoples': see Psalms 96:13.

This Ps. is like the preceding ones in the prominence it gives to God's Kingship, and no doubt belongs to the same period with them. God's holiness, too, is emphasised in the refrain of Psalms 99:3; Psalms 99:5; Psalms 99:9. The Ps. begins with a call to worship God with the awe and reverence which are due to Him (Psalms 99:1). His righteous rule in Israel is a reason for repeating the summons (Psalms 99:4). The history of His dealings with His people from the days of Moses and Aaron to the time of Samuel is summed up (Psalms 99:6). Psalms 99:9 is almost a repetition of Psalms 99:5, and implies that the Temple has been restored.
