Psalms 72

Solomon; royal, messianicA prayer for the king’s righteous, worldwide reign, closing Book 2.

A royal psalm for Solomon, praying that the king may judge with righteousness, defend the poor, and reign from sea to sea while the sun endures. Its universal, everlasting vision, all nations blessed in him and calling him blessed, reaches beyond Solomon to the Messiah, and it closes Book 2 with a doxology.
