Psalms 149 Commentary
(149:3-5) Praising God - Although the Bible invites us to praise God, we often aren't sure how to go about it. Here, several ways are suggested - by dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments. God enjoys his people, and we should enjoy praising him.
(149:6-7) Judgment - The "two edged sword" symbolizes the completeness of judgment that will be executed by the Messiah when he returns to punish all evildoers (Revelation 1316).
