Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds. 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!

Lord, arm me today with the two-edged sword of praise. Cause Your praises to flow from me in word and deed in a never ending stream of praise and testimony. No grumbling, no complaining, no spirit of criticism, no ego-driven teaching and suggesting, nothing but praise of You and to You.
