6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

The Israel of God are here represented triumphing over their enemies, which is both the matter of their praise (let them give to God the glory of those triumphs) and the recompence of their praise; those that are truly thankful to God for their tranquillity shall be blessed with victory.
— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on verses 6-9
