The literal phrasing of "The LORD is my strength" sounds off in Hebrew, but is HaShem Koakhi (ה' כוחי). If you want to convey the sentiment of "The LORD gives me strength" this sounds much better in Hebrew and is HaShem Noten Li Koakh (ה' נותן לי כוח).
This is from Isaiah 40:31 (according to Jewish numbering). It is וְקוֹיֵ ה יַחֲלִיפוּ כֹחַ
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.
חכה לאדון והוא יחדש את כוחך
Isaiah 40:31 KJV But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not faint.
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 . (Isaiah 40:31)
Kingsway Christian School's motto is 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and shall rise up with wings as EAGLES'.
This may come from the Bible. Isaiah 40:31 [King James Version] says "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."
Yes, the lyrics you mentioned are derived from the Christian hymn "They That Wait Upon the Lord" based on Isaiah 40:31. It's a popular song in Christian worship that emphasizes the strength and renewal that comes from trusting in God's providence.
Isaiah 40:29-31 says: "He gives power to the tired one And full might to those lacking strength. Boys will tire out and grow weary, And young men will stumble and fall, But those hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not tire out."
In the King James version the words - not faint - appear together just twice * Isa 40:31 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. * Rev 2:3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
I think you mean "the Lord is MY shepherd", which is "Adonai ro'ee" (ה׳ רעי)
Strength is mentioned Lots of times in the Bible. Mark 12:10 says, "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment." This tells us a great way to use our strength: to love the Lord
The motto of Peoples Christian Academy is 'School Verse: But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles'.
