Psalms 68:20

God is unto us a God of deliverances;

And unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death.

The plural denotes mighty and manifold deliverances. Cp. Psalms 44:4. God is printed in capital letters in the A.V. because it represents the sacred Name, for which Elôhîm, -God," was substituted by the Jews in reading, when Adônai, -Lord" (the regular substitute) is joined with it. Even in regard to death God can provide ways of escape (cp. 1 Corinthians 10:13). In the uttermost extremity of peril, when death seems inevitable, He can devise means of deliverance. Nay, though Israel as a nation seems to lie dead in exile, He can bring it forth from that grave and give it new life (1 Samuel 2:6; Hosea 6:2; Ezekiel 37:1 ff.).
