Old Testament: Psa 68.19–20

To read the Bible in a year, read Psalms 68–69 on August 2, In the year of our Lord Christ 2024

By Don Ruhl 

Would you like another reason for praising the Lord? Consider what David said in Psalm 68: “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! Our God is the God of salvation; and to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death” (Psalm 68.19–20). 

The New King James and the Old King James versions state that the Lord loads us with benefits daily, but all the newer translations say that he bear our burdens daily. 

Either way, I think that we can find yet another reason for praising the God of heaven and earth, the fact that everyday he does things on our behalf. 

Questions from today’s reading and devotional: 

• Who can make us escape death? 
• What did David mean that we can escape death?
