The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 68:20

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

He that is our God is the God of salvation; rather, God is to us a God of saving deeds (Kay), or of deliverances (Revised Version); i.e. net of salvation only in the abstract (Psalms 68:19), but of deeds by which we are saved.

And unto God the Lord belong the issues from death. It is through God only that, when death threatens, men escape it.
