Psalm 99 - Exalt the Lord

The Psalm is directed towards the nations. The Lord reigns so they should tremble before Him. The main problem with the world is its refusal to acknowledge the Lord.
He is great in Zion and is exalted over all the nations. He is not just one god among many gods, He is the Lord of All, the only one true God. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, the only means of salvation. The nations do not merely need to acknowledge that there is a God, they need to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord is mighty and loves justice. He has done what is right, and the supreme act of righteousness was the cross and resurrection which took place in Jerusalem.
The Psalmist reminds his readers that Moses, Aaron and Samuel were servants of the Lord. So they should look at the lives of these people and learn from them. The one true God is the God who revealed Himself in Israel, and then supremely in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
All nations care called to exalt the Lord.
