Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Psalms 149:1-9.-Call to Israel to praise God for salvation, with music and dances (Psalms 149:1-5); anticipation of victory over the God-opposed nations, and of the Lord's judgment along with His saints (Psalms 149:6-9). Sing unto the Lord a new song, (and) his praise in the congregation of saints - answering to Psalms 148:14, "the praise of all his saints." As He is the source of "praise," i:e., glory, to them, so they give praise, i:e., glory, to Him. This marks the close connection of the two psalms. On the "new song," cf. Isaiah 42:10; Psalms 144:9.
