Calmet
Praise. Theodoret reads, "A psalm of David for confession, without a title in Hebrew." But now that text and the Septuagint agree with us. The psalm refers to the same events as the preceding. (Calmet)
99:2
Menochius
Gladness. God loves a cheerful giver. [2 Corinthians 9:7.] (Menochius)
Worthington
He hears our prayers in all places. Yet appoints the temple more peculiarly for that duty. (Worthington)
99:3
Berthier
Not. St. Jerome seems to have read lu for lo, and translates, "and we are his," which Houbigant follows. But the Vulgate gives a very necessary instruction, as some might perhaps forget that God preserves their life every instant, (Berthier) and some have foolishly imagined, that the collection of things might give existence, or be eternal. (Berthier)
99:5
Calmet
Truth. This is commonly joined with mercy. (Calmet)
Calmet
God faithfully executes what he has promised (Worthington) for the liberation of his people, and the conversion of the Gentiles. (Calmet)
99:1
of praise.
99:2
Not only Iewes, but also al Gentiles.
God eueryvvhere present, yet more peculiarly heareth his suppliants, praying in the temple, or place dedicated to his seruice.
99:3
He only whom we serue as our Lord is the only God, and there is no other.
99:4
Peculiar dedicated place, as v. 2.
99:5
As God is alwayes merciful in geuing, and promising:
so he is euer faithful in performing.

99:2
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 100.10
… “Serve the Lord,” not in the bitterness of murmuring, but in the “gladness of love.” “Come before His presence with rejoicing.” It is easy to rejoice outwardly: rejoice before the presence of God. Let not the tongue be too joyful: let the conscience be joyful. “Come before His presence with a song.”
99:3
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. The Confessions 1.6
… and as my infancy closed I was already seeking for signs by which my feelings might be made known to others. Whence could such a creature come but from Thee, O Lord? Or shall any man be skilful enough to fashion himself? Or is there any other vein by which being and life runs into us save this, that “Thou, O Lord, hast made us,”
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. The Confessions 11.27
34. Persevere, O my mind, and give earnest heed. od is our helper; He made us, and not we ourselves.
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Letters of St. Augustin 231.6
… in these believe what is said of me, not by others, but by myself; in these contemplate me, and see what I have been in myself, by myself; and if anything in me please you, join me, because of it, in praising Him to whom, and not to myself, I desire praise to be given. For “He hath made us, and not we ourselves;”

99:4
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 100.13
… Here there is one generation which produceth mortals; another which maketh such as are everlasting. His Truth is both here, and there. Imagine not that His truth is not here, if His truth were not here, he would not say in another Psalm: “Truth is risen out of the earth;” nor would Truth Itself say, Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
99:5
sant'Agostino d'Ippona † 430 d.C. Expositions on the Book of Psalms 100.13
… the more ye praise Him, the more ye acquire strength, and He whom ye praise becometh the more sweet. “His mercy is everlasting.” For He will not cease to be merciful, after He hath freed thee: it belongeth to His mercy to protect thee even unto eternal life. “His mercy,” therefore, “is to everlasting: and His truth from generation to generation” (

CHERUBINO (EBR. PLUR. HĒRUBHÎM)
… Di lì, dal luogo «tra i c.», Dio dava i suoi oracoli (Ex. 25, 18-22; 37, 7-9; Num. 7, 89) ed era perciò chiamato «Colui che siede sopra i c.» (I Sam. 4, 4; II Sam. 6, 2; Is. 37, 16; Ps. 80, 2; 99, 1). Quando si manifesta nella tempesta «viaggia sui c.» (Ps. 18, 11). Furono introdotti nel tempio di Salomone: due, in piedi alle due estremità dell'area, la ricoprivano con le loro …
