Context of Psalms 99:5
3They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! — 4And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy! 6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them. 7He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.
