Psalms 149:5

149:5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! ¹

Psalms 149:1

Psalm 149 ³ 

149:1 Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song!

Praise him in the assembly of the godly! ⁴ 

[149:5]  ¹ 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).

[149:5]  ² 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.

[149:1]  ³ sn Psalm 149. The psalmist calls upon God’s people to praise him because he is just and avenges them.

[149:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “his praise in the assembly of the godly ones.”
