Psa 149:4-5 | NET2full | STEP | For the Lord takes delight in his people ; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.

‏ Psalms 149:4-5

4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he exalts the oppressed by delivering them. ^{▼▼tn Heb “he honors the oppressed [with] deliverance.”}
5 Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication. ^{▼▼tn Heb “in glory.” Here “glory” probably refers to the “honor” that belongs to the Lord’s people as a result of their deliverance (see v. 4).}
Let them shout for joy upon their beds. ^{▼▼tn The significance of the reference to “beds” is unclear. Perhaps the point is that they should rejoice at all times, even when falling asleep or awaking.}
