A PROPHECY OF BLESSINGS IN CHRIST"His name shall endure forever;His name shall be continued as long as the sun:And men shall be blessed in him;All nations shall call him happy.""His name shall endure forever ... shall be continued as long as the sun" (Psalms 72:17). We absolutely must see something more in promises like this than the mere fact of some man's getting his named mentioned in the history books, whether sacred or secular history. If something like that is all that is meant here, then... read more

Psalms 72:17. His name shall be continued— Let his name be perpetuated by a numerous posterity while the sun shall last. Chandler. When we hear David singing the triumphs of his son, to whom the everlasting kingdom was promised, in such strains as these, can we give any tolerable account of these things, but by supposing David to understand that the son promised to him, in whose time righteousness and truth were to be established, was the very seed of the woman who should bruise the serpent's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 72:1-20

Psalms 72This royal psalm is one of two psalms that attribute authorship to Solomon in the superscription (cf. Psalms 127). It describes his reign but anticipates the rule of his successor, Jesus Christ, on earth in the future. [Note: Chisholm, "A Theology . . .," p. 270.] The psalmist prayed for the prosperity of the Lord’s anointed, ultimately Israel’s Messiah. Isaac Watts wrote the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign" after meditating on this psalm. [Note: Kidner, p. 253.] "The psalm is quoted nowhere... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:1-20

Title.—A Psalm for (RV ’of’) Solomon.The title in AV suggests that David is the writer, and Solomon the subject, of this Ps., but, as RV shows, the authorship is really ascribed to Solomon. The Ps., however, appears rather to be the prayer of a subject for the king. Some actual ruler—Solomon, Hezekiah, or another—is no doubt in view, but, as in Psalms 45, the royal figure is so idealised that the Ps. becomes truly Messianic, and applicable only to the perfect divine King, though it is nowhere... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 72:17

(17) Shall be continued.—Rather, have issue. Literally, send out new shoots.As long as the sun.—See Note on Psalms 72:5.Shall be blessed in him.—Or, bless themselves in him. The meaning is clear, though the Hebrew is rather vague. The monarch will himself be a source of blessing to his people, who will never tire of blessing him. The psalmist’s prayer finds a genuine echo in the noble dedication of In Memoriam:“May you rule us long, And leave us rulers of your bloodAs noble, till the latest... read more

Missions: Growth of the Kingdom Psalms 72:0 The outlook seems dubious when we see (1) but a 'handful' of corn, (2) and that 'in the earth' one handful for a whole world, (3) and some on the top of the mountains. But it is reassuring when we know (1) that it is corn God's good wheat, (2) that even on the top of the mountains its fruit shakes like Lebanon. What will it be in the richer valleys? What were the words of Jesus but a handful of corn, and that upon the top of the mountains? But it is... read more
