“He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.”
Psalms 18:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 18:9
God 'bowed the heavens and came down' with thick darkness under His feet. The Hebrew 'natah' (bowed/stretched) suggests pulling heaven down to earth. The 'araphel' (thick darkness) recalls Sinai's thick cloud (Exodus 20:21). This portrays God bridging infinite distance to rescue His servant. It anticipates the Incarnation—God descending to rescue humanity. Reformed theology sees God's transcendence and immanence held together.
