Psalms 18:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 18:16
God 'sent from on high' and 'took' David, drawing him from 'many waters.' The Hebrew 'shalach' (send) and 'laqach' (take) portray divine initiative in salvation. The 'many waters' ('mayim rabbim') represent overwhelming danger. This anticipates Christ's incarnation—God sending His Son from on high to rescue those drowning in sin. Reformed theology emphasizes salvation as entirely God's initiative, not human achievement.
