Psalms149

Psalms 149 calls upon Israel and the saints to praise the LORD with new songs, rejoicing in their Maker and King with dance, timbrel, and harp. God takes pleasure in His people and beautifies the meek with salvation, leading the saints to joyful worship. Furthermore, the psalm describes the saints as having God's praises in their mouths and a twoedged sword in their hands, prepared to execute divine judgment and vengeance upon the heathen. This honor of fulfilling written judgment is bestowed upon all His saints.

A Call to Joyful Praise

1
Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.
2
Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.
3
They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
4
For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.
5
Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

The Saints Execute God's Judgment

6
The exaltation of God is in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
7
To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.
8
To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,
9
To do among them the judgment written, An honour it is for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
