Psalms 99:6-9

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 99:6 These verses explore the wonder of being God’s people, whom he actually welcomes into his presence. In mentioning Moses, Aaron, and Samuel, the psalm reminds its singers of how these men were God’s gifts to lead his people. Those who worship at his holy mountain can be sure that God has preserved his people through servants like these. He has called each of his people to a similar life of faith and obedience.
