Psalms 149:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

To execute upon them the judgment written - in Deuteronomy 32:41; Deuteronomy 32:43. Compare also Enoch's prophecy, Jude 1:14-15, where, as here, the saints are associated with the Lord in "executing judgment."

This honour have all his saints - parallel to Psalms 148:14, "the praise of all His saints." "This honour" - namely, the honour of sharing with the Lord in judging the world (Daniel 7:22; Luke 22:29-30; Revelation 3:21; Revelation 20:4) - this shall be the crowning of their glory.
