Commentary on Psalms 99:8
God being described as 'thou answeredst them' (anitam) while also being 'a God that forgavest them' (El nose) reveals the paradox of grace and judgment. The phrase 'though thou tookest vengeance' (noqem) on their 'inventions' (alilot—deeds, practices) shows that God disciplines His people while maintaining covenant relationship. This verse encapsulates the balance between mercy and justice—God forgives persons while judging sins. The discipline doesn't contradict the forgiveness but demonstrates covenant faithfulness.
