# General Information:
This begins a new theme: Asaph is proclaiming God's mighty deeds in the history of his people.
# God has been my king from ancient times
Possible meanings are 1) Asaph is speaking as Israel's representative, "God has been our king since we Israelites first became a nation" or 2) "God, my king, was alive even in ancient times."
