Background
Psalm 138 is in the Deuteronomy Book of the Psalms (Psalms 107-150). These 44 Psalms, like the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, show God’s Word as the source of salvation, deliverance, and healing. This would be fully carried out in the life of the coming Messiah, the living Word, Jesus Christ. Psalm 138 gives praise for God’s constant protection and care to David. The Lord in his mercy will “perfect” that concerning David by sending the promised Messiah to redeem mankind.
