“Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; For the LORD our God is holy.”
Psalm 99:8-9 KJV
The psalmist says, “God, the great forgiver, answered their prayers, yet He would punish them when they went astray. Keep exalting the Lord our God facedown before His glory-throne, for He is great and holy!” Although there is no name for the writer of this psalm, some traditions say it is David. David knew the power of forgiveness for he said elsewhere of the LORD God that He forgives all our iniquity, and heals all our diseases! Through the Blood of God’s Son, we are set free from our sins. God forgives our failures because of His overflowing kindness. Jesus Himself, brought us His wonderful new agreement; of His sprinkled Blood, which graciously forgives instead of crying out for vengeance as the blood of Abel did. That is why He is worthy to be exalted, worthy to be worshipped, night and day, at all times and in all places. Jesus alone is the Name to be lifted up for His is the Name above all names. Amen!
