How do we reason the use of Psalm 149:5-9's indication that "godly ones" will execute "vengeance" in light of Romans 12:19 & Leviticus 19:18 emphasizing prohibiting vengeance?
Romans 12:19 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [a]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Leviticus 19:18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.
Psalm 149:5-9 New American Standard Bible 1995
5 Let the godly ones exult in glory; Let them sing for joy on their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their [a]mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, 7 To execute vengeance on the nations And punishment on the peoples, 8 To bind their kings with chains And their nobles with fetters of iron, 9 To execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones. [b]Praise [c]the Lord!
