Context: God remembers His covenant, possibly as the Jews exiled in Babylon [Confusion] see covenant faithfulness fulfilled by God’s regathering and the rebuilding of the Temple. (Ezra 3:10-13)
Acrostic Psalm
1 Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai with my whole heart,

He always remembers his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
