The Psalm was written by Ethan the Ezrahite, who was probably a Levite.
The Psalm begins by declaring God's praise, His praise is to be declared through all generations. God's love stands firm and He is completely faithful. And He has made a covenant with the house of David, to establish the throne for ever. This is the foundation on which everything else is built.
Then God's greatness is praised on a cosmic scale. There is no one else like the Lord, neither in the physical or spiritual realms. Everything was created by God and everything belongs to the Lord.
His throne is established in righteousness and justice. And those who walk in faithfulness and trust in the Lord are blessed. We rejoice in the Lord, and He is our glory and strength. There is a great split in humanity between those whose glory and strength is in themselves, and those whose strength and glory are in the Lord. We need to be a people who gain out strength from the Lord.
