Context of Psalms 118:14

12They surrounded me like bees; They were extinguished like a fire of thorn bushes; In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off. 13You pushed me violently so that I was falling, But the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation. 15The sound of joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly. 16The right hand of the Lord is exalted; The right hand of the Lord performs 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
