Psa 18:16  He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 

Psalm18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.  There can be little doubt but that David in this place is idealizing some of his own experiences; but that eye is very dim which cannot perceive in the Psalmist’s language something far beyond a description of his own immediate temporal danger and rescue. We have not exhausted the meaning of this magnificent hymn until we have seen in it a foreshadowing of the world’s redemption in Jesus Christ. In his description of this redemption, the writer compares Christ with Noah’s Ark, but the Ark of salvation which Christ represents is far better as he explained.
