The Meaning of the "Daily Load"
Scholars highlight a rich ambiguity in the original Hebrew for "who daily loadeth us." It can mean that God loads us with benefits, that He takes up and carries our burdens for us, or even that He lays daily trials upon us while also giving us the strength to bear them. In every sense, the verse points to God's active, daily involvement in the lives of His people, for which He is to be blessed.
