Psalms 149:4-9
For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two- edged sword in their hand, 9 To execute on them the written judgment — This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!

All who are drawn by God, who humble themselves under His mighty hand of certain judgment on their sin and find mercy in the cross of Jesus Christ - these He delights in and saves from their fallen state. We then who are His see the need in this Psalm to praise God and wield the sword - in David's time to kill, now as the sword of His Word that shows the judgment to come; we only execute the serving of the death warrant, those who hear need to be reconciled to God in Christ.
