Read Psalms 67:19  In our verse today, David says "Blessed be the Lord."  That means that David is thanking the Lord for who He is and what He does.  God is good to us every day.  Even when we have trouble, God is still there using our trouble to help us to learn a lesson and to become better people.  David says that God is blessed because of all the things that He does for us every day.  These things are the benefits from God.   David goes on to say that the Lord not only gives us benefits, but he says that the Lord loads us up with benefits.  God gives us plenty and plenty of good things.  But David says that the greatest benefit that God gives to us is our salvation.  Truly, that is God's greatest gift of all: our eternal life that He gives to us.  Our verse ends with the musical word, Selah.  In Hebrew selah means "think about it."  We have learned three wonderful things from this one little verse.  Now think about that!  Or, selah!
