Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the LORD!
Psalms 149:6-9
One need not be in the midst of spiritual warfare to praise and worship God acceptably. But I daresay there is no victorious spiritual warfare without acceptable praise and worship. Victory in battle is dependent on Him. If we understand where our help comes from, then we lift up our eyes through praise and worship. When our eyes are on Him His peace guards our heart and mind. Our trust in Him will always be rewarded.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
Psalm 121
