God is to us a God of deliverance.
To GOD,† the Lord, belongs escape from death.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 68:20 in context
Psalms 68:17–23
17
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands.
The Lord is among them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
18
You have ascended on high.
You have led away captives.
You have received gifts among people,
yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,
even the God who is our salvation. Selah.
21
But God will strike through the head of his enemies,
the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22
The Lord said, “I will bring you again from Bashan,
I will bring you again from the depths of the sea,
23
that you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood,
that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
