Psalms 149:7 In-Context

5 Let God's people rejoice in their triumph and sing joyfully all night long.
6 Let them shout aloud as they praise God, with their sharp swords in their hands
7 to defeat the nations and to punish the peoples;
8 to bind their kings in chains, their leaders in chains of iron;
9 to punish the nations as God has commanded. This is the victory of God's people. Praise the Lord!
