The praising of the LORD continues. It is clear that He is above all peoples, is Holy and awesome. Justice and righteousness is part of Him. We are called to humbly worship at His footstool. He is the LORD who answers people and have at times communicated through selected individuals like Moses and Samuel and elected some like Aaron to be specially ministering to Him. He forgives but also exercise vengeance. Above all, He is Holy.
Psalm 99
Praise to the LORD for His Holiness
1 The LORD reigns;
Let the peoples tremble!
He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be moved!
2 The LORD is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
He is holy.
4 The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called upon His name;
They called upon the LORD, and He answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the ordinance He gave them.
8 You answered them, O LORD our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God,
And worship at His holy hill;
For the LORD our God is holy.
