Greatness from God's Grace
David attributes his greatness not to his own strength or merit, but entirely to God's actions. Commentators explain that God's salvation acted as a shield, His right hand provided support, and His 'gentleness'—His favor, kindness, and clemency—is what truly exalted him. This teaches that any success or 'greatness' in a believer's life is a direct result of God's gracious dealings.
