99:1-3 The Lord reigns; the earth is under His authority. We praise our awe-inspiring God for He is holy. No other authority is perfect. No other authority is as pure and powerful as God's. Therefore He is worthy of praise.
99:4-5 The Psalmist rejoices because God has established justice and righteousness. When we pray to God for His assistance, the circumstances and quality of our lives change. He helps us to establish good things, strong pillars and righteous plans.
99:6-7 The people of scripture are our example of God's faithfulness and divine ability. Until we experience it for ourselves, we learn from the lives of Moses and Aaron, Samuel and so many more. When we have experienced God's presence in our lives, we lean on scripture as reminder in our times of doubt and difficulty. God has always been... and always will be, faithful.
99:8-9 God takes care of His children as a wise and compassionate Father. He forgives and also disciplines. He wants us to feel loved; He also knows the importance of character growth. He protects us and answers our prayers. So we exalt Him because His love for us is comprehensive. We exalt Him because He is holy and without Him, we would have never experienced such absolute justice and righteousness.
