Then the channels of waters appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, At your rebuke, Yahweh, At the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

Your Rescue, His Story

Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon explain that the imagery of parting waters and exposed foundations intentionally echoes the parting of the Red Sea. David connects his personal deliverance to God's historic, covenant-keeping power. This shows that the same God who miraculously saved the nation of Israel acts with that same mighty power to rescue a single individual who trusts in Him.
