Key Reflection

In Psalms 99:6, the imperative to "exalt the LORD our God" commands a profound act of reverence and praise, reflecting the divine majesty and sovereignty of God. The instruction to "worship at his footstool" evokes an image of deep humility and devotion, as worshiping at one's feet symbolizes complete submission and respect. This verse underscores both the exalted nature of God and the appropriate response of human beings in His presence—acknowledging Him as holy and offering humble adoration.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Moses and Aaron among his priests -Among the ministers of religion; or, as officiating in the service of God. Let them come as representatives of their order - as representing those who conduct the public worship of God, and join in his praise. The idea is, that all mankind should join in his praise, and those mentioned here as among the most eminent of those who were engaged in directing the public worship of God. Moses could be called a “priest” only in the most general sense of the term, as having been employed in directing and arranging for public worship, and as being of the original tribe of Levi, from whom the whole sacerdotal order sprang.
