Context of Psalms 118:14

12They surrounded me like bees. But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns. Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away. 13“You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me. The Lord gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.” 15They celebrate deliverance in the tents of the godly. The Lord’s right hand conquers, 16the Lord’s right hand gives victory, the Lord’s right hand conquers.

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
