Psalm 150

PS 150:1 Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

PS 150:2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

PS 150:3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

PS 150:4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

PS 150:5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

PS 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

While researching this topic, I found this, which fits perfectly with your post:

References to a Military Band, or at least to a group of instrumentalists performing for military purposes can be found in records dating back to biblical times. A good example of this is the siege of Jericho by the Children of Israel, when "the armed men went forth led by the priests who blew trumpets". The army of the Israelites used these trumpets for their military ceremonies and displays and they are frequently mentioned in the Book of Joshua in dealing with the capture of Jericho.

Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
