Psalm 149

1 min read · Chapter 297 of 362

“Praise ye Jah; sing ye to Jehovah a new song, his praise in the congregation of godly ones. Let Israel rejoice in his Maker, let Zion's sons rejoice in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance; with timbrel and harp let them sing psalms to him. For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he honors the humble ones with salvation. Let godly ones exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds, exaltations of God (El) in their throat and a two-edged sword in their hand, to do vengeance on the Gentiles, punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jah” (vers. 1-9).
Here it is expressly a new song for Israel, no longer enemies as touching the gospel, no longer only beloved for the fathers' sake, but a congregation of pious ones, Zion's sons rejoicing in their King. Their position is judicial on earth; but we who believe without seeing Christ have our joy in His heavenly grace and glory.
