The role of the choirmaster was crucial in ancient Israelite worship, as music was a central part of their religious expression. This highlights the communal aspect of the psalm, suggesting it was meant to be shared and experienced collectively.<p><b>To the tune of “The Death of the Son.”</b><br>The specific tune mentioned here is unknown today, but it suggests that the psalm was set to a familiar melody of the time. This practice of using known tunes for new lyrics was common in ancient cultures. The title "The Death of the Son" could imply a somber or reflective tone, possibly alluding to themes of mortality or divine justice.<p><b>A Psalm of David.</b><br>David, the second king of Israel, is traditionally credited with writing many of the psalms. His life experiences, from shepherd to king, provide a rich backdrop for his writings. David's psalms often reflect his personal relationship with God, his struggles, and his triumphs. This attribution connects the psalm to a historical figure known for his deep faith and complex life.<p><b>I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;</b><br>This phrase emphasizes wholehearted devotion and gratitude to God. In biblical terms, the heart represents the center of one's being, including emotions, will, and intellect. Giving thanks with all one's heart implies complete sincerity and commitment. This reflects the biblical principle of loving God with all one's heart, soul, and strength, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a>.<p><b>I will recount all Your wonders.</b><br>Recounting God's wonders involves remembering and declaring His mighty acts and miracles. This practice of remembrance is a recurring theme in the Bible, serving to strengthen faith and encourage others. The wonders of God could include creation, deliverance from Egypt, and personal experiences of divine intervention. This act of recounting is both a personal and communal exercise, reinforcing the faith community's shared history and identity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of this psalm, King David, is expressing his gratitude and praise to God.

The thanks are special for a great deliverance - a deliverance from some heathen enemy (vers. 5, 15), who has been signally defeated and almost exterminated (vers. 5, 6). It has been conjectured that the subjugation of Ammon (<a href="/2_samuel/12-26.htm">2 Samuel 12:26-31</a>) is the occasion referred to ('Speaker's Commentary'); but the expectation of further attack (vers. 17-20) scarcely suits this period, when David's wars were well-nigh over. Perhaps the earlier victory over Ammon and Syria (<a href="/2_samuel/10-6.htm">2 Samuel 10:6-14</a>), which was followed by the renewed invasion of the same nations in conjunction with "the Syrians beyond the river" (<a href="/2_samuel/10-16.htm">2 Samuel 10:16</a>), is more likely to have drawn forth the composition.
