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.
The King loves justice
God's royal strength is defined by justice and righteousness, leading the community to exalt and worship him.
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.
