Context of Psalms 118:14

12They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off. 13Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me. Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

Commentaries on Psalms 118:14

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14The Lord is my strength and song - He is the source of strength to me; and he is the subject of my praise. There is no ground of praise in myself for anything that I have done, but all is due to him. And is become my salvation - He has saved me. I live because he preserved me. So we shall be saved in heaven solely because he saves us, and there, more than can be possible here, we shall say, “God is our strength and our song, and is become our salvation.”Read the comment
