American Standard Version
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Young's Literal Translation
The exaltation of God is in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

Psalm 149:6 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Let the high praises of God - Let them sing songs the most sublime, with the loudest noise consistent with harmony.

And a two-edged sword in their hand - Perhaps there is an allusion here to the manner in which the Jews were obliged to labor in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem: "Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon," Nehemiah 4:17.

The two-edged sword, in Hebrew, is פיפיות pipiyoth, "mouth mouths."
