Psalms 111 thru 116 The author is unknown although many attribute them to David. They are called "Hallelujah" psalms. They were used on feast days as songs of phrase. They are unique in that they were composed alphabetically (acrostic) with each sentence beginning with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, in order.
This Psalm appears to have been penned during some grievous time in the life of Israel. It appears that during that time, the people did not seek the Lord but rather took for granted or trusted in His deliverance. Thus the Psalmist reminds them that they deserve no glory in resolving of their problem but rather owe God the glory for delivering them.
In the reading of this Psalm perhaps we should look upon the many blessings that we enjoy that we have not asked for but received anyway by the Grace of God.
