The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
*People* — Such as are enemies to God and his people.
*Sitteth* — Upon the ark. He is present with his people.
*Earth* — The people of the earth.
*Moved* — With fear and trembling.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
*Them* — All people.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
*Judgment* — Though his dominion be absolute, and his power irresistible, yet he manages it with righteousness. The king's strength is by a known Hebraism put for the strong, or powerful king.
*Equity* — In all thy proceedings.

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
*Foot-stool* — Before the ark, which is so called, [1 Chronicles 28:2](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/28/2).
*Holy* — It is consecrated to be a pledge of God's presence.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
*Moses* — Moses before the institution of the priesthood executed that office, [Exodus 24:6](../../../kjv/exodus/24/6).
*That call* — Who used frequently and solemnly to intercede with God on the behalf of the people.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
*Spake* — To some of them: to Moses and Aaron, [Exodus 19:24](../../../kjv/exodus/19/24); 33:9-11; [1 Samuel 7:9](../../../kjv/1-samuel/7/9), etc.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
*Them* — The intercessors before mentioned.
*Forgavest* — The people for whom they prayed, so far as not to inflict that total destruction upon them which they deserved;
