Psalm 149: Cantate Domino canticum novum

Theme: All the congregation are invited to praise God for his mercies, their great privileges, and victories. This seems to be an epinikion, or song of triumph, after some glorious victory; probably in the time of the Maccabees. It has no title in the Hebrew, nor in any of the versions, and no author's name. [Regarding v. 3] Let them praise his name in the dance - במחול bemachol, with the pipe, or some kind of wind music, classed here with תף toph, the tabor or drum, and כנור kinnor, the harp." מחול machol," says Parkhurst, "some fistular wind-instrument of music, with holes, as a flute, pipe, or fife, from חל chal, to make a hole or opening." I know no place in the Bible where מחול machol and מחלת machalath mean dance of any kind; they constantly signify some kind of pipe. (From Adam Clarke’s commentary, public domain) In Judaism: This psalm begins with the same words as that of Psalm 98: “O sing to the Lord a new song.” Psalm 149 is traditionally grouped with 146, 147, 148, and 150 – the five concluding chapters of the Book of Psalms, which are all recited during Pesukei D'Zimra ("Verses of Praise") – under the classification of "halleluyah" psalms which express praise of God. Verse 2 is recited by the creeping creatures in Perek Shira (an ancient Jewish text), and verse 5 is recited after saying Mishnayos (first major work of rabbinic literature) for the departed. (Wikipedia) In Christianity: Amy Carmichael is venerated in the Anglican Communion (see photo explanation of the last paragraph). Clark says that Psalm 149 is understood “as predicting the success of the Gospel in the nations of the earth. According to the Syriac, it concerns the new temple, by which the Christian Church is meant.” With its reference to singing with a two-edged sword in hand, verse 6 is unique among the psalms. The remaining verses make clear that the purpose of this sword is to execute judgment upon the world. Augustine of Hippo wrote that the phrase of the sword has a "mystical meaning", dividing temporal and eternal things. James L. Mays comments: "There is an eschatological, almost apocalyptic, dimension to the psalm's anticipation of a warfare of the faithful that will settle the conflict of the kingdoms of this world and the kingdom of God.” In the Liturgy of the Hours, Psalm 149 is used for Sunday Lauds of the Roman rite in the first week. It is also used for feasts and solemnities week. In the Eucharistic liturgy, it is the Saturday after the Epiphany or before January 7 epiphany, and at Easter, the Monday of the sixth week. (Wikipedia) Nine hundred years ago, the Cathedral of Salisbury, England developed a unique form of chant and liturgy known as the “Use of Salisbury,” or “Sarum Use.” Differences from the Roman rite are both melodic (more florid in the Sarum) and textual (Elizabethan English rather than Latin). The best repository of Sarum Use tones is the St. Dunstan's Plainsong Psalter, from which Sarah has sung this psalm. Additional resources on Sarum Use plainsong at https://canticasacra.org. The photo “Amy Carmichael [1867-1951] with Children” is in the public domain. She was an Irish missionary to India and founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship. Carmichael's most notable work was with girls and young women, some of whom were saved from customs that amounted to forced prostitution. Hindu temple children were primarily young girls dedicated to the gods, then usually forced into prostitution to earn money for the priests (i.e., Devadasi). Families often sold their children to the temples if they did not want them, or if they needed extra money and fewer children to feed. Carmichael often said that her ministry of rescuing temple children started with a girl named Preena. Having become a temple servant against her wishes, Preena managed to escape. Amy Carmichael provided her shelter and withstood the threats of those who insisted that the girl be returned either to the temple directly to continue her sexual assignments, or to her family for more indirect return to the temple. The number of such incidents soon grew, thus beginning Amy Carmichael's new ministry. When the children were asked what drew them to Amy, they most often replied "It was love. Amma loved us." Carmichael died in India in 1951 at the age of 83. She asked that no stone be put over her grave at Dohnavur. Instead, the children she had cared for put a bird bath over it with the single inscription "Amma", which means mother in the Tamil language.
