Psalms 118:14

Strength and help in weaknessSalvationPraise and worship

12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

13 I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me.

The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!”
