Chapter 594 of 1163

PSALM 149

God’s people should be a singing people. They should sing in the sanctuary (vv. 1–4) because God is their Savior (v. 1), their Maker, and their King (v. 2). You are reminded again that praise pleases God and beautifies God’s people (v. 4; Ps. 147:1, 11).

You should sing at home (v. 5), even when in bed! Sing when you wake up in the morning, when you take a nap, when you go to bed at night. If it is a bed of illness, sing to the Lord even more.

Sing to the Lord on the battlefield (vv. 6–9). God’s Word is your sword (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12), and it should be on your lips as well as in your hand. Praise is a wonderful weapon for defeating the enemy.
