Song of Solomon 8:3
His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
BSB
ASV
His left hand should be under my head, And his right hand should embrace me.
KJV
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. That is, when she should have the presence of Christ in her mother's house. Or the words are a petition that so it might be, "let his left hand", &c. (g); or a declaration of what she did enjoy, "his left hand is under my head", &c. (h); see Gill on Son 2:6. (g) Tigurine version, Marckius, some in Michaelis. (h) Mercerus, Piscator, Cocceius, Michaelis.
Thus Christ laid his right hand upon John when he was ready to die away, Rev. i. It may be read as it is ch. ii. 6 , His left hand is under my head (for the words are the same in the original) and so it expresses an immediate answer to her prayer; she was answered with strength in her soul, Ps. cxxxviii.

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.
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.
For You have been a refuge for the poor, a stronghold for the needy in distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like…
