This is one short Bible verse from the book of Acts. It is written about Paul and Silas who were put in jail for healing a demon-possessed girl. Some of the people and leaders didn't like it. So the two were jailed:
 
"Around midnight,
as Paul and Silas were praying
and singing hymns to the Lord~~
and the other prisoners were listening..."
Acts 16:25 LB
 
Bible Commentary:
"Paul and Silas were stripped, beaten, whipped
and placed in stocks in the inner dungeon.
Despite this dismal situation,
they praised God,
praying and singing as the other prisoners listened.
No matter what our circumstances,
we should praise God.
Others may come to Christ
because of our example."
