Psalm 149
1. The prophet exhorts to praise God for his love to the church
5. And for that power which he has given to the church














(7) Heathen . . . people.--Rather, nations . . . peoples.

Verse 7. - To execute vengeance upon the heathen. Not private revenge, but the just vengeance which a threatened nation has, from time to time, to execute on its persecutors in self-defense. And punishments upon the people; rather, upon the peoples. A variant of the phrase in the preceding clause, without any serious modification of the meaning.
