Psalm 149
1. The prophet exhorts to praise God for his love to the church
5. And for that power which he has given to the church














(6) High praises.--Literally, exaltations of celebration, i.e., hymns of praise.

Mouth.--Rather, throat.

Verse 6. - Let the high praises of God be in their mouth; literally, in their throat (comp. Isaiah 58:1). And a two-edged sword in their hand. Some understand this metaphorically. But the weapons of Jewish warfare in Nehemiah's time were thoroughly carnal (Nehemiah 4:13, 16, 17, 18); and against adversaries such as Sanbailat, Geshem, and Tobiah, a nation threatened with extermination is certainly entitled to use the sword.
