This Psalm can be divided into three parts:
It may have been written right after a military loss or in connection with the Babylonian exile. The Mosaic law required all Israelites to teach their children of God’s dealing with their nation (Ex. 10:2). God wanted the people to remember that the victory of Canaan was accomplished by the power of His hand. The Lord alone can be considered the conqueror of the promised land.
The people express their confidence in the Lord, based on His past dealings with the nation. After stating that Israel knew of God’s marvelous works in the past (v. 1), they specifically recall how the Lord gave them the land under Joshua (v. 2). They recognize this as a marvelous work of God. As a result of hearing what God had done in the past, the people put their trust in Him as their King. The psalmist expected deliverance from the enemies of Israel as his forefathers had experienced (vv. 3-4). He tells how those who oppress Israel will one day be trodden under foot (vv. 5-8).
Application
My praise for the Lord should be continual. I need to praise Him for the many victories He has performed in my past. I also need to praise Him for the things He continues to do.
