The Psalmist, David, writes of the sovereignty of God over the nations and all affairs of men, all the while creating people as free moral agents. God's sovereignty means that He knows everything that will happen and either allows or causes it. This does not imply determinism or fatalism, but rather that God's sovereignty is so great that He causes His plans to prosper in spite of human free will and nothing can thwart them. This includes His plan to send his son Jesus to reconcile the world to Himself, which is predicted in this psalm.
