Bible Verses About the Horn of My Salvation: 12

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

— Psalm 18:2 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the horn of my salvation want Scripture on Psalm 18:2's qeren yish'i — the LORD as the horn of my salvation — not only the horn of salvation raised-up for us in Luke 1:69 alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about horn of salvation, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about refuge, Bible verses about fortress, Bible verses about rock of Israel, Bible verses about rock that is higher than I, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. Horn of my salvation here means David's personal confession that the LORD himself is his saving horn of strength — distinct from Luke's raised-up horn-of-salvation for Israel alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, קֶרֶן qeren (Strong's H7161; Bible Hub H7161) means horn (strength / power / glory), and יְשׁוּעָה yeshuah (Strong's H3444; Bible Hub H3444) means salvation / deliverance. Psalm 18:2 (and 2 Samuel 22:3) joins them — qeren yish'i — the horn of my salvation. This list tracks that personal saving-horn confession and related "my rock / my fortress / my deliverer / my shield" language centered on the LORD as the psalmist's own saving strength, not every Luke 1:69 raised-up-horn verse alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalm 18 presses that David piles names for God — rock, fortress, deliverer, shield, horn of salvation, stronghold — as the ground of praise after deliverance (Bible Hub MHC Psalms 18; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Psalms 18). (Horn of salvation lives on that page for Luke 1:69's raised-up horn; this list centers Psalm 18:2's horn of my salvation personal confession.)
