Psalms 149:5

149:5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication!

Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

Psalms 149:1

Psalm 149

149:1 Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song!

Praise him in the assembly of the godly!


tn Heb “in glory.” Here “glory” probably refers to the “honor” that belongs to the Lord’s people as a result of their deliverance (see v. 4).

tn The significance of the reference to “beds” is unclear. Perhaps the point is that they should rejoice at all times, even when falling asleep or awaking.

sn Psalm 149. The psalmist calls upon God’s people to praise him because he is just and avenges them.

tn Heb “his praise in the assembly of the godly ones.”
