Psalms 99:5

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for] he [is] holy.

Ver. 5. Exalt ye the Lord our God] Have high apprehensions of him and answerable expressions; set him up, and set him forth to the utmost.

And worship at his footstool] i.e. At his temple, saith the Chaldee; at the ark of the covenant, say the Rabbis. Austin interpreteth it of Christ's humanity; which, although of itself it is not to be adored, because it is a creature, yet as it is received into unity of person with the Divinity, and hath a partner agency with the Godhead according to its measure in the works of redemption and mediation, 1 Timothy 2:4, it is to be worshipped. But how hard driven was that second synod of Nice, when they abused this text, among many others, to prove the worshipping of images and pictures!
