Psalm 97 - 99

Psalm 97 describes the Lord walking among His creation. The majesty He possesses melts the mountains, silences His critics and fills His followers with awe. Because of the Lord's position above His creation, His followers are to hate evil and rejoice in His goodness.

Psalm 98 invites its singers to praise the Lord for His goodness and giving of a new song to them. This song is joined by the whole of creation - even the mountains seas and rivers join in.

Psalm 99 invites God's people to follow Him and listen to Him as their leaders did. Moses, Aaron and Samuel all learned to listen to God and enjoyed the blessings commensurate with obedience. They learned to rightly appreciate His holiness.
