It was a singular way of going to battle against the enemy's army--praising the Lord with singing, and exalting the God of Israel. This was their battle song. They possessed the beauty of holiness. If more praising of God were engaged in now, hope and courage and faith would steadily increase. And would not this strengthen the hands of the valiant soldiers who today are standing in defense of truth?

Det var ganske usædvanligt, at en hær drog i krig imod fjenden, mens man priste Herren i sang og ophøjede Israels Gud. Dette var deres kampsang. De drog frem i helligt skrud. Hvis menneskene priste Gud mere nu til dags, ville deres håb, mod og tro være i stadig tiltagen og ville dette ikke bevirke, at de tapre soldater, som forsvarer sandheden i dag, blev styrket?
