Verse 6 is found in chapter 149 of Psalms. Psalm 149 combines an invitation to sing to the Lord with images of victory and judgment. Israel is to rejoice in its Creator and celebrate that God takes pleasure in his people. Double-edged swords and the execution of judgment appear within a context of liturgical and warrior language. The psalm reflects a vision in which the people’s victory is understood as participation in divine judgment upon the nations rather than merely as their own military ambition.

Ihr Mund soll Gott erheben, und sie sollen scharfe Schwerter in ihren Händen haben,
Ensalzamientos de Dios modularán en sus gargantas. Y espadas de dos filos habrá en sus manos;
Que las alabanzas de Dios estén en su garganta y una espada de dos filos en su mano,
Que les louanges de Dieu soient dans leur bouche, Et le glaive à deux tranchants dans leur main,
Avranno nella lor gola le esaltazioni di Dio, E nelle mani spade a due tagli;
Estejam na sua garganta os altos louvores de Deus, e espada de dois fios nas suas mãos,
願他們口中稱頌上帝為至高, 手裏有兩刃的劍,
