Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,Part of this is very easy to understand. God is, of course, our salvation. He is the only way we can ever hope to be made perfect, or even improved. Without Him, we are doomed, and it is amazing that He has given us the opportunity to know Him through Jesus. Think on that a moment.
The God who is our salvation. Selah.
However, we have trouble with the idea that God bears our burden. First, I find it interesting that it's a plural linked to a singular. It's not our burdens, or my burden, it's our burden. We all have one burden together, and I don't know exactly what that's supposed to be. I suppose it might be Israel's protection against its enemies, for which God definitely protected them. But it might also be our sin, and what Christ would eventually take upon Himself. I can't say I'm confident in my answer here, though.
