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














(5) The two clauses are directly parallel:

"Let the chasidim raise a cry in glory:

Let them sing aloud upon their couches."

Either the rejoicing is carried far into the night, and when retired to rest the happy people burst 'out anew into singing; or (see Hosea 7:14), the couches may rather be the divans where feasts were held.

Verse 5. - Let the saints be joyful in glory. Therefore let God's saints at the present time - his restored people, who have just had a fresh deliverance - rejoice, in the "glory" that covers them - rejoice and give God thanks for it. Let them sing aloud upon their beds. Not, as in former days, weeping through the long night (Psalm 6:6; Psalm 77:2-6), and watering their couches with their tears, but, like Paul and Silas (Acts 16:25), singing hymns of praise to God "at midnight" as they rest upon their beds.
