Most Bible verses about strength aren’t about being strong. They are written to people who are tired, frightened or outnumbered, and they point to a strength that is given rather than summoned: “those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31), “my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We have grouped them by the moment you might need them: when life is hard, when you feel weak, and when you have to do something that takes courage. The text is the World English Bible, which is public domain, so each verse is free to save and share.

The World English Bible writes God’s name, Yahweh, where most English Bibles print “the LORD” in small capitals. The meaning is the same.
Every verse is quoted from the World English Bible, a modern English translation its editors have placed in the public domain, as published by Project Gutenberg (ebook #8294). Only the typography is changed: curly quotation marks, psalm titles and musical notes left out, and an ellipsis where a passage stops mid-sentence. American spellings (honor, neighbor) are the translation’s own. You are free to copy, print and share it. More about the choice of translation is on the Bible verses page.
