Verse 20
(20) He that is.—The insertion is unnecessary. Render, God unto us (i.e., our God) is a God of salvation.
Issues from death.—Literally, for death goings out. The same word rendered issues in Proverbs 4:23, there means sources. Here it will mean sources of death, or escapes from death as we connect the clause with what precedes or follows; Jehovah would provide an issue out of death for Israel, but a source of death to Israel’s enemies. The LXX. and Vulgate apparently take it in the former connection.
