📚 Historical Context
Psalm 138 is a song of thanksgiving attributed to King David, written in a time when Israel faced various enemies and relied on God's protection and promises. In this verse, David expresses confidence that God's words will ultimately lead all world leaders to worship Him, reflecting the biblical hope for universal recognition of God's sovereignty as seen in the Psalms and prophetic books. This fits into the broader Old Testament narrative where God is portrayed as the supreme ruler over all nations, not just Israel.
