God's Active Protection
This verse is part of a larger psalm (Psalms 105) that recounts God's faithfulness. Commentators explain that God's protection of the patriarchs, even rebuking kings for their sake, was a direct response to their vulnerability when they were few in number. This historical reminder was meant to encourage trust in God's ongoing protective power.
