Psalms Chapter 72
Overview
Psa 72:1, David, praying for Solomon, shews the goodness and glory of his kingdom, and in type of Christ's kingdom Psa 72:18, He blesses God.
This Psalm seems to have been composed by David in his last days, when he had set his beloved son on the throne. "Then," says Calmet, "transported with joy and gratitude, he addressed this Psalm to God, in which he prays Him to pour out His blessings on the young king, and upon the people. He then, wrapped up in a divine enthusiasm, ascends to a higher subject; and sings the glory of the Messiah, and the magnificence of his reign.
