📚 Historical Context
This psalm was written by David, likely during his reign as king of Israel when he had experienced God's faithfulness personally. In ancient times, kings were considered the ultimate earthly authorities, so the idea that they would bow before the LORD was a powerful statement about God's supreme sovereignty. David may have been thinking about how God's reputation was spreading to surrounding nations through Israel's victories and blessings.
