Psalm 99:
The final psalm of the divine kingdom is composed of three stanzas, each followed by a call to worship (verses 3, 5, 9).
The first stanza describes the King’s greatness (verses 1-2); the second, His justice (verse 4); and the third, His forgiveness (verses 6-8).
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. vs.5
He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: vs.7
The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble:
he sitteth between the cherubims;
let the earth be moved.

The first stanza describes the King’s greatness (verses 1-2); the second, His justice (verse 4); and the third, His forgiveness (verses 6-8).
The psalmist encourages praise to the king for His holiness which is the utter separateness of God’s being from all other creatures and things, as well as His moral separateness from sin.
I. Exaltation of the King’s Holiness (99:1-5).
II. Examples of the King’s Holiness (99:6-9).
Verses 1-5: God governs the world by his providence, governs the church by his grace, and both by his Son.
Every king in ancient times had a “footstool” as a symbol of His position of authority. God’s footstool is the earth."
