📚 Historical Context
Psalm 145 is an acrostic poem of praise attributed to David, where each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This psalm was written to celebrate God's eternal reign and was likely used in temple worship. The emphasis on God's universal goodness would have been particularly meaningful to the Israelites, who had experienced both God's judgment and mercy throughout their history.
