Read Psalm 149
Praise
the Lord!
Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
2 Be glad, Israel,
because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
3 Praise his name
with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.
4 The Lord takes pleasure in his people;
he honours the humble with victory.
5 Let God’s people
rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.
6 Let them shout
aloud as they praise God,
with their sharp swords in their hands
7 to defeat
the nations
and to punish the peoples;
8 to bind
their kings in chains,
their leaders in chains of iron;
9 to punish
the nations as God has commanded.
This is the victory of God’s people.
Praise the Lord!
Think
"The LORD takes pleasure
in his people; he honours the humble with victory." - 4
This Psalm was a celebration
of military victory; verse 6 describes people dancing with swords in their
hands.
As humble and weak as we may
sometimes feel - it is good to know that God is with us.
Pray
God, you know what battles I
am fighting; I trust you for help.
