He reached down from on high
and took hold of me;
he pulled me out of deep water.
Psalm 18:16
Psalm 18:16 describes how God delivered David from his enemies and expresses gratitude and praise to God for His divine intervention and protection.
The phrase "He reached down from on high" suggests that God intervened from His place in heaven, reaching down to rescue David.
We do not enjoy freedom from adversity, so we must lean on God for victories despite the adversities. God is the one who ultimately saves and delivers His people, even when they are in the midst of great danger or difficulty.
