Context of Psalms 118:14
12They swarmed around me like bees— they were extinguished like burning thorns— in the Name of Adonai I cut them off. 13You pushed me hard to make me fall, but Adonai helped me. Adonai is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. 15Shouts of joy and victory are in the tents of the righteous: “Adonai’s right hand is mighty! 16Adonai’s right hand is lifted high! Adonai’s right hand is mighty!”

- 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
