The final strophe is almost identical with that of Psalm xcvi., but, in accordance with the variation found in vv. 1-3, omits the summons to Israel to proclaim God's Kinghood among the nations. It also inverts the order of clauses in ver. 7, and in ver. 7_b_ quotes from Psalm xxiv. 1, where also "the fulness of it" precedes, with the result of having no verb expressed which suits the nouns, since "the world and the dwellers therein" cannot well be called on to "thunder." Instead of the "plain" and "trees of the forest" in the original, ver. 8 substitutes streams and mountains. The bold figure of the streams clapping hands, in token of homage to the King (2 Kings xi. 12; Psalm xlvii. 1) occurs in Isa. lv. 12. The meeting waves are conceived of as striking against each other, with a sound resembling that of applauding palms. Ver. 9 is quoted from Psalm xcvi., with the omission of the second "He cometh" (which many versions of the LXX. retain), and the substitution of "equity" for "His faithfulness." PSALM XCIX. 1 Jehovah is King--the peoples tremble; Throned [on] the cherubim--the earth totters. 2 Jehovah in Zion is great, And exalted above all the peoples. 3 Let them praise Thy great and dread name, Holy is He. 4 And the strength of the King loves judgment, Thou, Thou hast established equity, Judgment and righteousness in Jacob hast Thou wrought. 5 Exalt Jehovah our God, And prostrate yourselves at His footstool, Holy is He. 6 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among them that call [on] His name; They called on Jehovah, and He, He answered them. 7 In a pillar of cloud He spoke to them, They kept His testimonies, And the statute [which] He gave them. 8 Jehovah our God! Thou, Thou didst answer them, A forgiving God wast Thou unto them, And executing retribution for their deeds. 9 Exalt Jehovah our God, And prostrate yourselves at His holy mountain, For holy is Jehovah our God.
