Psalms 72:1

Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign

A Psalm of Solomon.

1 Give the king Your judgments, O God,
And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.

2 ^aHe will judge Your people with righteousness,
And Your poor with justice.

3 ^aThe mountains will bring peace to the people,
And the little hills, by righteousness.

4 ^aHe will bring justice to the poor of the people;
He will save the children of the needy,
And will¹ break in pieces the oppressor.

5 ¹They shall fear You
^aAs long as the sun and moon endure,
Throughout all generations.

6 ^aHe shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.

7 In His days the righteous shall flourish,
^aAnd abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more.

Psalms 72:1

Judgments - He saith judgments in the plural number, because though the office of judging and ruling was but one, yet there were divers parts and branches, of it; in all which he begs that Solomon may be directed to do as God would have him to do.
