📚 Historical Context
This psalm was likely written during or after the Babylonian exile when Israel needed reassurance of God's faithfulness. The people had experienced judgment for their disobedience but needed to hear that God would ultimately restore and defend them. The word 'repent' here doesn't mean God made a mistake, but rather that he would relent from his anger and show compassion.
