They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. (Or, change strength.) -- ISA.40:31.

When I am weak, then am I strong. -- God shall be my strength. -- He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -- Let him take hold of my strength.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. -- The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob.

I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. -- Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
