“Blessed be the name of our God; let us sing to his praise, yea, let us give thanks to his holy name, for he doth work righteousness forever”
Alma 26:8

Ammon’s words of rejoicing, praising and exulting God’s power found in Alma 26 provide readers of the Book of Mormon with insights into the man’s character and dedication to the Lord. Many readers may not, however, be aware of the amount of material in his monologue that is borrowed from earlier sources.
Ammon used phrases from the scriptures like the biblical psalms. He also used words from earlier Nephite prophets and leaders. His actions and words are a testament to a man who had studied and internalized the words of God and the righteous deeds of the past.
