THIS IS ONE of my favorite psalms. I hope you will read the whole psalm and savor the hyperbole.

Consider the second set of beads: "He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. He rescued me from my strong enemy." Your strong enemy could be a life event, emotions that are disproportionate to the circumstances in your life, or even a spiritual power of darkness. Imagine the Lord reaching down and rescuing you from the waters of your strong enemy. Let the Lord embrace you, hold you, and breathe rescue into your soul.

Look also at the third set of beads: "He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me." Do you believe that God delights in you? Spend some time with the Lord and ask him to help your unbelief. Ask the Lord what he thinks of you and how he describes you. Listen. Write in your journal.
