Psaume 118:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 118:14

The Lord [is] my strength and song
It being in the name of the Lord the enemies of the psalmist were destroyed; and having obtained help of him when sore thrust at, he gives him all the glory, and ascribes nothing to himself. It was the Lord that strengthened him, helped him, and gave him the victory. The Lord is the author and giver of strength, natural and spiritual; he is the "strength" of the hearts and lives of his people, and of their salvation; and therefore is their "song", the matter of it: they sing of his nature and perfections, of his works of providence and grace, of his righteousness and salvation, as follows:

and is become my salvation;
the author of temporal, spiritual, and eternal salvation; which the psalmist saw his interest in, and was assured of, and therefore sung praise on that account; see ( Exodus 15:2 ) ( Isaiah 12:2 ) .

Psaume 118:14 In-Context

12 Elles m'environnaient comme des abeilles; Elles s'éteignent comme un feu d'épines; Au nom de l'Eternel, je les taille en pièces.

13 Tu me poussais pour me faire tomber; Mais l'Eternel m'a secouru.

14 L'Eternel est ma force et le sujet de mes louanges; C'est lui qui m'a sauvé.

15 Des cris de triomphe et de salut s'élèvent dans les tentes des justes: La droite de l'Eternel manifeste sa puissance!

16 La droite de l'Eternel est élevée! La droite de l'Eternel manifeste sa puissance!
