It is applied to the former in Isaiah 13:21 (see the notes at that place); Isaiah 23:13; Isaiah 34:14; Jeremiah 50:39.

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).

Isaac Watts wrote the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign" after meditating on this psalm. [Note: Kidner, p. 253.] "The psalm is quoted nowhere... read more
