Psalm 99:5
“Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 99Meaning
The footstool image belongs to temple and throne symbolism. The worship is directed to God, not to a location, object, ruler, or institution as if it possessed divine status.
Read carefully
The image directs worship to the LORD; sacred geography remains subordinate to God.
Reflection
Let sacred symbols point beyond themselves to God and to the justice associated with his holiness.
