3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
3 In the day H3117 when I cried H7121 thou answeredst H6030 me, and strengthenedst H7292 me with strength H5797 in my soul. H5315
3 In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul `with' strength.
3 In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
3 When my cry came to your ears you gave me an answer, and made me great with strength in my soul.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And 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. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the 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.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

It does not appear, nor is it material to enquire, upon what occasion David penned this psalm; but in it,
