Psalm 149:7
βTo execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;β
KJV
Read in Psalm 149Meaning
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.
