Historical Background
This verse comes from Psalm 76, written by Asaph, one of the temple singers and a gifted poet. The Psalm was likely written during the time of the united kingdom, when David or Solomon ruled, and it was used in temple worship. The audience would have been the Israelites, and the context would have been times of both praise and reflection on God's power and presence.
