Commentary for Psalms 68:19
Psalm 68:19 is a verse of praise and thanksgiving that acknowledges God's continual provision and protection. The historical context of this verse is rooted in the worship traditions of ancient Israel, where the psalmist often composed songs to celebrate God's mighty acts, both in history and in daily life. The theme of the verse is the blessing of the Lord, who is described as the source of daily benefits and the God of salvation.
The phrase "daily loadeth us with benefits" suggests a consistent and generous outpouring of God's favor upon His people. This reflects the Israelite understanding that God's faithfulness is renewed every morning, providing for their needs and granting them victories. The term "Selah," which appears at the end of the verse, is a musical or liturgical direction that might indicate a pause for reflection or an instruction to lift up or exalt the preceding words.
In a broader sense, Psalm 68:19 speaks to the enduring nature of God's care for His followers, emphasizing a relationship of dependence and gratitude. It calls the faithful to recognize and celebrate the divine favor that sustains them through each day, reinforcing the assurance that God is actively involved in their lives, offering not just momentary assistance but ongoing salvation and preservation.
