Psalms

Psalm 68:18–20

18You have ascended on high;

You have led captives away.

You have received gifts from men,d

even from the rebellious,

that the LORD God may dwell there.

19Blessed be the Lord,

who daily bears our burden,

the God of our salvation.

Selah

20Our God is a God of deliverance;

the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.
