Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:1,2)
"Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies." (Psalm 60:11,12)

"Praise the LORD! Praise God in his Temple; praise him in his mighty heaven.
Praise him for his strength; praise him for his greatness.
Praise him with trumpet blasts; praise him with harps and lyres.

Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with crashing cymbals.
Let everything that breathes praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150)
