Psalms 72:3

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.

What Does Psalms 72:3 Mean?

Psalm 72:3

Righteousness produces peace with its qualities of quietness and assurance, but at the same time, peace provides the proper environment for righteousness to grow. One builds upon the other. A home without peace hinders the development of righteousness. Thus, God allows a Christian to divorce an abusive, unconverted mate (I Corinthians 7:15).
