Context of Psalms 68:19

17The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness. 18Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim. Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. Selah. 20Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death. 21Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us - With benefits is not in the text. Perhaps it would be better to translate the clause thus: "Blessed be Adonai, our Prop day by day, who supports us." Or, "Blessed be the Lord, who supports us day by day." Or as the Vulgate, Septuagint, and Arabic: "Blessed be the Lord daily, our God who makes our journey prosperous; even the God of our salvation."

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits … - literally, “day, day;” that is, day by day; or, constantly.

Then it means “to take up and place upon a beast of burden;” to load, Isaiah 46:1; Genesis 44:13. Hence, it means to…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-21Verses 15-21 The ascension of Christ must here be meant, and thereto it is applied, Ep 4:8.
