Psalms 71:7
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.”
מַחֲסֶה
A place you run to when the storm hits. Not built by human hands. The psalmist had seen cities fall, mountains shake, waters roar — and still declared God as refuge. Not because the storm stopped, but because the shelter held.

I AM. Hayah. The self-existent one. When Moses asked God His name God said I AM THAT I AM. Not I was or I will be but I AM. Always present always existing always enough. Jesus used the same words: before Abraham was I AM.

Strength, might, power. Oz. Bold unyielding strength that does not tire or fail. The LORD is my strength and my song. His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
