Psalm 149
|
|
| 149:1
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the
congregation of saints. |
|
| 149:2
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be
joyful in their King. |
|
| 149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with
the timbrel and harp. |
Is dancing a sin?
|
| 149:4
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with
salvation. |
|
| 149:5
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
|
(149:5-8) The saints praise God while they kill and enslave "the heathen."
|
| 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a two-edged sword in their hand;
|
| 149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and
punishments upon the people; |
|
| 149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; |
|
| 149:9
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his
saints. Praise ye the LORD.
