God's Hand in Our Trials
Commentators like John Calvin note that the psalmist attributes his 'great and sore troubles' directly to God. This isn't a complaint, but an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. By recognizing God's hand in the hardship, the subsequent deliverance—the 'quickening' and 'bringing up'—becomes a more profound display of His power and grace. God sometimes brings us to the 'depths' so we can experience Him as our true Rescuer.
