Songs of Strength
List by Ami Hendrickson
For millennia, God’s strength has been the subject of countless songs. Divine deliverance from invading armies, debilitating depression, conniving enemies, and poor health inspired poets to sing God’s praises.
Today, those songs still resonate, reminding us anew of God’s power and might.
When God is my strength, I am blessed
Psalm 84:5, 7
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
The Lord strengthens His people
Psalm 29:1-4, 11
Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array. The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters. The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty. The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
The Lord is my strength and song
Exodus 15:1-2
Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and said, “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.”
Remember the marvelous, wonderful things God has done
1 Chronicles 16:11-12
Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more. Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
I love the Lord; He is my strength
Psalm 18:1-3, 31-32, 39
I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies. For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God, the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect? For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
The Lord is the strength of my life
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
The Lord's strength is cause for rejoicing
Psalm 21:1-2
The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation! You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
The Lord reigns in strength

The LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty! The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.
The Lord is my strength and song
