The setting
Jerusalem, ~1000 BC. David imagining future generations singing about God's goodness, perhaps during a festival where people are already spontaneously breaking into song about what God has done...
The emotion here: overflowing with joy, imagining how good it will be when everyone recognizes God's goodness
The original word
tub (טוּב) — goodness that is practical, beneficial, delightful to experience
Why it matters
Hebrew worship included spontaneous singing where people would 'bubble over' with praise
Read with care
What most readers miss in Psalms 145:7
