📚 Historical Context
This psalm was likely written after the Jewish people returned from exile in Babylon, celebrating God's faithfulness in rebuilding Jerusalem. In ancient times, people observed nature closely and saw God's hand in the natural world's cycles of provision. Ravens were considered unclean birds in Jewish law, yet the psalmist acknowledges that even these creatures receive God's care.
