The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 99:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The Lord reigneth (see the comment on Psalms 93:1). Let the people tremble; literally, the peoples; i.e. all the nations upon earth. He sitteth between the cherubim; rather, he hath his seat upon the cherubim (comp.

Psalms 80:2). The imagery is taken from the internal economy of the Jewish temple, where the Shechinah was enthroned above the cherubic forms that overshadowed and guarded the ark. Let the earth be moved; or, quake (comp.

Psalms 114:7).
