Context of Psalms 99:6
4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 5Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool: holy is he. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call on his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 7He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them. 8Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
