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. 
8 aHe shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
And from the River to the ends of the earth. 
9 aThose who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
bAnd His enemies will lick the dust.

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).

Martin G. Collins
