Psalms 149:5-9

⁵God's people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

⁶They MTY should shout loudly to praise God; but they should also hold sharp swords in their hands,

⁷ready to use them to defeat the soldiers of nations that do not worship God, and to punish the people of those nations,

⁸and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

⁹to judge and punish the people of those nations, like God wrote/declared should be done. It is ◄a privilege/an honor► for God's faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!
