Introduction
All the congregation are invited to praise God for his mercies, Psalm 149:1-3 . Their great privileges, Psalm 149:4 , Psalm 149:5 . Their victories, Psalm 149:6-9 .
This seems to be an epinikion, or song of triumph, after some glorious victory; probably in the time of the Maccabees. It has been also understood as predicting the success of the Gospel in the nations of the earth. According to the Syriac, it concerns the new temple, by which the Christian Church is meant. It has no title in the Hebrew, nor in any of the Versions, and no author's name.
