When God's choir is on
front line of spiritual battlefields, God wins battle ... on front line.II Chronicles 20:21-22
When Jehoshaphat had consulted with people, he appointed singers unto Lord, and that should praise beauty of holiness, as they went out before army, and to say, Praise Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Lord, because foundation of house of Lord was laid. ~ * ~
Sing unto Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at remembrance of his holiness. Praise Lord with harp: sing unto him with psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is King of all earth: sing ye praises with understanding. The pastures are clothed with flocks; valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. Sing forth honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
All earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. O let nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge people righteously, and govern nations upon earth. Selah.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of earth; O sing praises unto Lord; Selah.
O come, let us sing unto Lord: let us make a joyful noise to rock of our salvation. O sing unto Lord a new song: sing unto Lord, all earth. Sing unto Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Make a joyful noise unto Lord, all earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Sing unto Lord with harp; with harp, and voice of a psalm. Serve Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Praise Lord; for Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Yea, they shall sing in ways of Lord: for great is glory of Lord. They shall abundantly utter memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.
Praise ye Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. Sing unto Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon harp unto our God: Praise ye Lord. Sing unto Lord a new song, and his praise in congregation of saints.
Let them praise his name in dance: let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. Let saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Sing unto Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all earth.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for majesty of Lord, they shall cry aloud from sea.
~ * ~
Ye shall have a song, as in night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into mountain of Lord, to mighty One of Israel.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see glory of Lord, and excellency of our God. Then shall lame man leap as an hart, and tongue of dumb sing: for in wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in desert. And ransomed of Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Sing unto Lord a new song, and his praise from end of earth, ye that go down to sea, and all that is therein; isles, and inhabitants thereof. Let wilderness and cities thereof lift up their voice, villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let inhabitants of rock sing, let them shout from top of mountains.
Sing, O ye heavens; for Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to end of earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. For Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like garden of Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and voice of melody.
