Psalm 149

It took about one minute to read this short psalm. The message in verse 4 speaks volumes about the nature of our God. God delights in his people, for the very reason that they are his people. In the time that this psalm was inspired there were basically two types of Jews; those who lived by faith and those who did not. God's people were not merely all Jews; they were those who lived by faith. Under his new covenant God extended his favor to all people who choose to live by faith. And God still takes delight in his people.
