GLORY Psalm 149:5-9 Part 3 of 3

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sing for joy on their beds. May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them--this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the LORD.  

to bind their kings with fetters 
2 Samuel 3:33-34  The king sang this lament for Abner: "Should Abner have died as the lawless die? Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. You fell as one falls before the wicked." All the people wept over him again.
Isaiah 14:1-2  The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob. Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the LORD's land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

their nobles with shackles of iron 
2 Chronicles 33:10-11  The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. So the LORD brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.

to carry out the sentence written against them 
Deuteronomy 7:1-2  When the LORD  your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations--the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you--and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.
Ezekiel 28:26  " 'They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.' "

this is the glory of all his faithful people 
Psalm 145:10  All your works praise you, LORD; your faithful people extol you.
