📚 Historical Context
This psalm is attributed to David, likely written during a time of great distress when enemies were pursuing him. David had experienced God's faithfulness repeatedly throughout his life as a shepherd, warrior, and king. The phrase 'before the sons of men' suggests God's public vindication of those who trust Him, something David experienced when God delivered him from Saul and other enemies.
