This psalm was likely written during or after the Babylonian exile, when Israel's faith was being tested by surrounding nations and their gods. The 'sons of the mighty' refers to angelic beings or divine council members that ancient Near Eastern cultures believed surrounded their gods, but the psalmist declares that even these powerful beings cannot compare to the LORD.
