"Praise be to The Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." Psalms 68:19 (NIV)
"Blessed be The Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even The God of our salvation." (KJV) "Blessed be The Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God of our salvation." ((NAS)
"Blessed be The Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day, even The God Who is our salvation." (Amplified Bible)
King David clearly praises God, our Savior, in this psalm. It is also clear that he is praising God for blessing us. However, the experts do not agree on the exact nature of the blessing. The benefits which God provides are daily blessings, which we are overloaded with and are too numerous to count. (Matthew Henry) God bears us up and protects us from our enemies. (C John Collins) God daily provides, supports, and upholds us. (Finnis Dake) The benefit that God provides is protection for His people. (Thomas Nelson)
Regardless of which version of The Bible we read, or which Bible expert we believe, it is clear that God blesses us and helps us, even if we do not understand all of the blessings that we receive. I believe that we are blessed daily in more ways than we know, and more often than we realize. Each heart beat and each breath is a blessing. We take so many bodily function blessing for granted. We are blessed with things and people in our lives, some to help us and some to teach us. Blessings can also take the form of protection from dangers, seen and unseen. Just know that as a believer God has blessed us in the past, God is blessing us right now, and God will bless us in the future.
