20 October 2010 - Psalm 99:1-5

"The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble"
"He sits enthroned" while the angels assemble
"Great is the Lord" of creation
"He is exalted" over every nation
"Let them praise your great and awesome name"
"He is holy", all the psalmists say the same
"The King is mighty, he loves justice"
Far more so than Caesar Augustus
"Exalt the Lord our God"; don't be a fool
"He is holy" so "worship at his footstool"

The focus of this passage is God's holiness
As well as his power and awesomeness
With this I cannot disagree
So a prayer of thanks I give thee
But our God also has another side
Goodness and mercy He doth provide
Thanks I also give for this
Not doing so would be remiss
