00:09.950 --> 00:15.650
Jehoshaphat was king in Jerusalem a long,
long time ago when the children of Judah

00:15.650 --> 00:18.830
all worshipped the Lord from the high on
down to the low.

00:19.710 --> 00:21.270
Judah was a wealthy kingdom.

00:22.310 --> 00:26.790
Everybody's children were fed because
Jehoshaphat studied the word of the Lord

00:26.790 --> 00:28.710
and did everything he said.

00:29.510 --> 00:34.470
But out of the east came an army one day
after Jehoshaphat's gold and they were

00:34.470 --> 00:38.230
marching right straight to Jerusalem and
Jehoshaphat soon was told.

00:38.230 --> 00:40.750
So he called all the people together.

00:41.650 --> 00:43.250
Everybody fasted and prayed.

00:44.010 --> 00:49.350
The Lord God answered the people and he
said, There's no need for you to be afraid

00:49.350 --> 00:53.030
because the battle is mine tomorrow.

00:53.530 --> 00:55.970
It's not yours and it's not the king's.

00:56.390 --> 01:00.550
And all you got to do is just stand and
watch to see the salvation I bring.

01:00.950 --> 01:05.170
Just believe that what I've told you is
exactly what I'm going to do.

01:05.170 --> 01:10.550
Go out tomorrow against him because the
Lord's going to fight for you.

01:11.070 --> 01:12.550
Great jumping Jehoshaphat.

01:13.090 --> 01:17.230
The army rose early next morning,
marched on out with the king.

01:18.110 --> 01:19.750
Jehoshaphat chose some singers.

01:20.510 --> 01:24.690
He told those singers to sing and they
praised the beauty of holiness.

01:25.150 --> 01:29.890
Instead of shouting out a battle cry and
all the way down to the enemy's camp,

01:29.970 --> 01:31.830
they sang to the Lord on high.

01:31.830 --> 01:37.490
They were singing, Praise ye the Lord,
for his mercy endures forever and ever.

01:37.790 --> 01:42.470
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

01:42.830 --> 01:47.450
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

01:47.810 --> 01:53.390
Praise ye the Lord our God, his mercy will
never end.

01:54.970 --> 01:57.070
The Lord God set up an ambush.

01:57.370 --> 02:01.810
He got the enemy all turned around and
they started into killing each other.

02:01.810 --> 02:06.270
You know, till they all laid dead on the
ground and the riches and the jewels that

02:06.270 --> 02:07.150
they left behind.

02:07.290 --> 02:12.030
It took them three whole days to haul the
children of Judah all praise the Lord

02:12.030 --> 02:14.010
because he saved them one and all.

02:14.090 --> 02:19.690
And they were singing, Praise ye the Lord,
for his mercy endures forever and ever.

02:20.050 --> 02:24.730
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

02:25.090 --> 02:29.750
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

02:29.750 --> 02:35.490
Praise ye the Lord our God, his mercy will
never end.

02:36.890 --> 02:41.470
If the parallel's not real obvious now,
I'll spell it right out for you.

02:41.930 --> 02:46.590
When you see trouble coming to rip you
off, here's all that you need to do.

02:47.310 --> 02:51.390
Pray to your heavenly Father and believe
that his word is true.

02:51.890 --> 02:55.890
And then step out and shout the salvation
of God because he'll win that battle for

02:55.890 --> 02:56.370
you.

02:56.370 --> 03:02.010
And praise ye the Lord, for his mercy
endures forever and ever.

03:02.230 --> 03:07.110
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

03:07.490 --> 03:12.150
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

03:12.550 --> 03:17.990
Praise ye the Lord our God, his mercy will
never end.

03:18.550 --> 03:19.850
It'll never end.

03:20.070 --> 03:24.890
Praise ye the Lord, for his mercy endures
forever and ever.

03:24.890 --> 03:29.990
Praise ye the Lord, for His mercy endures
forever and ever.

03:30.130 --> 03:34.930
Praise ye the Lord, for His mercy endures
forever and ever.

03:35.370 --> 03:40.690
Praise ye the Lord our God, His mercy will
never end.
