Psalms 99:9

Compare all

7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the¹ 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.

Psalms 99:9

Exalt the Lord our God - See the notes at Psalms 99:5.

And worship at his holy hill - In Psalms 99:5, this is, "at his footstool." The "holy hill" refers to Zion, as the seat of the national worship.

For the Lord our God is holy - See Psalms 99:5. This appropriately closes the psalm, by a distinct and solemn statement that the fact that Yahweh is a holy God is a reason for worshipping him. This is at all times the highest reason for adoration and praise.
