Glimpses of God
The Lord is my Strength and Song ~
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my
God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt
him.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast
guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. God brought them out of
Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a
double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the
right of the firstborn is his. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy
days, so shall thy strength be.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with
strength.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness;
for by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be
broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge
the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the
horn of his anointed.
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man,
that he should repent. God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way
perfect. For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up
against me hast thou subdued under me.
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty
days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Glory and honour are
in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. Give unto the Lord, ye
kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine
hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give
strength unto all. Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place,
thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with
salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against
him, and hath prospered? If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of
judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? With him is wisdom and strength, he
hath counsel and understanding. Will he plead against me with his great power?
No; but he would put strength in me. How hast thou helped him that is without
power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and
wisdom. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small
rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy
labour to him? Hath thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck
with thunder? He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth
on to meet the armed men.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his
belly. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Out of the mouth of s and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine
enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in
whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. Let the
words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O
Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy
heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Be thou exalted, Lord, in
thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The
Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. The Lord
will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall
he deliver any by his great strength. But the salvation of the righteous is of
the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my
mercy. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of
mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out
my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is
in God. Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with
power.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast
wrought for us.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is
in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of
Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. I
will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy
righteousness, even of thine only.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons
in the waters. Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy
strength among the people. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to
the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his
wonderful works that he hath done. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;
in whose heart are the ways of them.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before
God. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall
be exalted.
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with
strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that
it cannot be moved. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength
of the hills is his also.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and
strength. The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity,
thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments,
hearkening unto the voice of his word. Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his
face evermore. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule
thou in the midst of thine enemies.
The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. Arise, O Lord,
into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the
legs of a man.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. The way
of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers
of iniquity. Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the
strength of the ox.
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord
Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. For thou
hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a
refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible
ones is as a storm against the wall.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he
shall make peace with me. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in
judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. And wisdom
and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation:
the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O
Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it
up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
strength. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they
shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let
them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to
him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring
Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in
the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O
Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the
uncircumcised and the unclean.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I
will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the
stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured.
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is
glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that
speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy
glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy
mercies toward me? are they restrained?
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do
spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their
strength.
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and
the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his
people, and the strength of the children of Israel. And he shall stand and feed
in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and
they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he
will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed
instruments.
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all
the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is
more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that
is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no
man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have
set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little
strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and
are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy
feet, and to know that I d thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience,
I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the
world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he
shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name
of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven
from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
