Psalm 118 is a joyful declaration of God’s steadfast love and the triumph of His righteousness. This psalm is a part of the Hallel, a series of psalms (Psalms 113–118) traditionally sung during Jewish festivals, particularly Passover. It is a communal and personal celebration of deliverance and thanksgiving to the Lord.
Verse 16 reads (NIV) : The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
Since the Book of Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible, the identifier of the verse is (19+118+16=153).
Conclusion: When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we declare that the Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
In the Lord’s Prayer, we say, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). This petition acknowledges God’s supreme authority and power to accomplish His will. Similarly, Psalm 118:16 exalts the Lord’s “right hand,” a symbol of His sovereignty, which performs “mighty things” to fulfill His divine will.
