Psalms · chapter 68 · verse 19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.Psalm 68:19 · King James Version
What Psalm 68:19 means
Daily loadeth is a heavy phrase; the picture is a load being piled on, and it happens every day whether it's noticed or not. The title at the end is the one that matters: even the God of our salvation. The benefits come from somebody already identified as the one who saved you.

David, having given God praise for what he had done for Israel in general, as the God of Israel (Psa 68:8), here comes to give him praise as Zion's God in a special manner; compare Psa 9:11. Sing praises to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion, for which reason Zion is called the hill of God. I.
