Psalm 149 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 149.

Meditate on verses 5-6.

Let the Godly ones exult in glory;

let them sing for joy on their beds. 

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth

and a two-edged sword in their hand.

Psalms 147 and 148 tell why and who are to praise the LORD. Psalm 149 tells when and how to praise Him. With spoken and singing words, dancing and musical instruments, praise the LORD (vs. 1-3, 5). Praise Him when you are with other believers; praise Him when you are alone or with your spouse on your bed; praise Him when you are fighting for the sake of His name (vs. 1, 5-6). In other words, all the time, with everything you have, in every circumstance, praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD with Psalm 149 as His faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Praise the LORD!

LORD, I sing to You a new song;

 I sing Your praise in the

 congregation of the Godly ones. 

Let Israel, _________, and me be glad

 in You, our Maker.  Let the sons of Zion, __________, and me

 rejoice in You, our King.  Let us praise Your name with dancing. 

Let us sing praises to You with timbrel and lyre.

 LORD, take pleasure in us, Your people;

beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. 

We are Your Godly ones; we will exult in glory

 and sing for joy on our beds. The high praises of You, our God,

 will be in our mouths and a two-edged

 sword, Your Word (Hebrews 4:12), in our hand.

 By Your Word, let us execute vengeance on the nations

 and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings

with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,

 to execute on them the judgment written;

 this is an honor for all Your Godly ones. 

Praise the LORD!”
