Psalms 149:5 - Exposition

Let the saints be joyful in glory . Therefore let God's saints at the present time—his restored people, who have just had a fresh deliverance—rejoice, in the "glory" that covers them—rejoice and give God thanks for it. Let them sing aloud upon their beds . Not, as in former days, weeping through the long night ( Psalms 6:6 ; Psalms 77:2-6 ), and watering their couches with their tears, but, like Paul and Silas ( Acts 16:25 ), singing hymns of praise to God "at midnight" as they rest upon their beds.
