The Lord Will

Psalm 149:7

β€œTo execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;”

KJV

Read in Psalm 149

Meaning

This is ancient judgment language inside Israel's worship poetry, not permission to target modern peoples or enemies.

Read carefully

It does not authorize collective punishment, ethnic hatred, vigilantism, or religious warfare today.

Reflection

Seek justice through lawful, accountable, non-vigilante means while refusing private revenge.
