Help Comes from Heaven
Commentators consistently explain that when David says God will "send from heaven," he is expressing confidence in a divine, supernatural rescue. When earthly solutions and refuges fail, God's help is not limited by human means. As John Calvin notes, this points to a miraculous intervention, assuring believers that God's power to save is limitless and comes directly from His throne.
