Context

149:2 Let Israel rejoice in their Creator! Let the people of Zion delight in their king! 149:3 Let them praise his name with dancing! Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp! 149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. 149:5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds! 149:6 May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand, 149:7 in order to take revenge on the nations, and punish foreigners. 149:8 They bind their kings in chains, and their nobles in iron shackles, 149:9 and execute the judgment to which their enemies have been sentenced. All his loyal followers will be vindicated. Praise the Lord!
