Psalms 99:4
2 Great is the LORD in Zion; He is exalted above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy!
The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; He is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called to the LORD and He answered.
