📚 Historical Context
This is from Psalm 145, King David's psalm of praise that celebrates God's kingdom and character. In ancient times, 'terrible' meant 'awe-inspiring' or 'fear-inducing' rather than bad or evil. David was likely reflecting on God's mighty acts throughout Israel's history, such as the exodus from Egypt, victories in battle, and God's ongoing care for His people.
