19 The Lord deserves praise.[a]
Day after day[b] he carries our burden,
the God who delivers us. (Selah)
20 Our God is a God who delivers;
the Lord, the Sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.[c]
21 Indeed, God strikes the heads of his enemies,
the hairy foreheads of those who persist in rebellion.[d]
