"In the words before us (verse 3), he (David - the Psalmist) glories in the divine help with as much assurance as if he had already seen the hand of God interposed in his behalf. When it is said, he shall send from heaven, some consider the expression as elliptical, meaning that he would send his angels; but it seems rather to be an indefinite form of speech signifying that the deliverance which David expected was one not of a common, but a signal and miraculous description. The expression denotes the greatness of the interposition which he looked for, and heaven is opposed to earthly or natural means of deliverance."
FROM -- Hans-Joachim Kraus PSALMS 1 - 59 commentary (1993 Fortress Press Edition).
