Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment
We are just finishing the last six Psalms (145-150) right before the Thanksgiving season. These are praise Psalms and are especially good to read as we come into the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Praise the Lord with me as we read Psalm 149 today and then Psalm 150 tomorrow.

Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment
Psalm 149
Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation.
Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
