...You have lifted me up... (dillitani)
[דָּלָה] (DALAH) - Draw
This is the only place in the Scriptures where the root (DALAH) is employed in this manner. (DALAH) is "to draw up". This means to lift up an object from the depths toward oneself and to keep that object hanging suspended over that depth. That which was thus drawn up from below has its support somewhere above, and were it not for this support which keeps it suspended, it would sink back into the depth below. In view of the foregoing, we could hardly find another expression like (dillitani) which in one single word so accurately describes the uniqueness of the position of David, of Israel, and of any person who relies completely and exclusively upon Divine guidance and direction. All the others lean on some prop on earth below, but we seek our support only from “above”, from the LORD. There is nothing on earth that upholds or supports us. If we were to be left to ourselves, without the aid of God, we would have sunk back into the depths long ago.
