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 Spirit saith unto churches. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.
