Bless
Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto
voice of his word. Seek
Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore. The Lord shall send
rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in
midst of thine enemies.
The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and
ark of thy strength.
He delighteth not in
strength of
horse: he taketh not pleasure in
legs of a man.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. The way of
Lord is strength to
upright: but destruction shall be to
workers of iniquity. Where no oxen are,
crib is clean: but much increase is by
strength of
ox.
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for
Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. For thou hast been a strength to
poor, a strength to
needy in his distress, a refuge from
storm, a shadow from
heat, when
blast of
terrible ones is as a storm against
wall.
Trust ye in
Lord for ever: for in
Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn
battle to
gate. And wisdom and knowledge shall be
stability of thy times, and strength of salvation:
fear of
Lord is his treasure.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into
high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto
cities of Judah, Behold your God!
He giveth power to
faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. But they that wait upon
Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let
people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. Surely, shall one say, in
Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
And now, saith
Lord that formed me from
womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in
eyes of
Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem,
holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee
uncircumcised and
unclean.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by
arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and
sons of
stranger shall not drink thy wine, for
which thou hast laboured.
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in
greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Look down from heaven, and behold from
habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength,
sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
Be not afraid, ye beasts of
field: for
pastures of
wilderness do spring, for
tree beareth her fruit,
fig tree and
vine do yield their strength.
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and
heavens and
earth shall shake: but
Lord will be
hope of his people, and
strength of
children of Israel. And he shall stand and feed in
strength of
Lord, in
majesty of
name of
Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto
ends of
earth.
The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To
chief singer on my stringed instruments.
And thou shalt love
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is
first commandment. And to love him with all
heart, and with all
understanding, and with all
soul, and with all
strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as
sun shineth in his strength.
And to
angel of
church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath
key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of
synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept
word of my patience, I also will keep thee from
hour of temptation, which shall come upon all
world, to try them that dwell upon
earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him
name of my God, and
name of
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
