Psalms149:4
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people : he will beautifie the meek with salvation .
He loveth them above all people, and rejoyceth over them to do them good.
Heb. adorn or glorifie, make them amiable and honourable in the eyes of the world, who now hate and despise them.
Or, humble, to wit, his people, as he now said, who are oft in Scripture described by that character, because all true Israelites are such, and all Israelites profess and ought to be such. Or, the afflicted, as that word is oft used in Scripture, which hath been observed before, his poor afflicted and oppressed people, to whom the following salvation is most needful and acceptable.
Both temporal, in delivering them from, and setting them above, all their enemies, and afterwards, with everlasting salvation and glory.
