诗篇 72:17-73:1 CUVS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:1-20

Psalms 72:1-20RIGHTLY or wrongly, the superscription ascribes this psalm to Solomon. Its contents have led several commentators to take the superscription in a meaning for which there is no warrant, as designating the subject, not the author. Clearly, the whole is a prayer for the king; but why should not he be both suppliant and object of supplication? Modern critics reject this as incompatible with the "phraseological evidence," and adduce the difference between the historical Solomon and the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 72:1-20

Psalms 72:0 The Kingdom Psalm 1. The King, who reigns in righteousness (Psalms 72:1-4 ) 2. His kingdom from sea to sea (Psalms 72:5-11 ) 3. The blessings and the kingdom (Psalms 72:12-20 ) The last Psalm of this Exodus section describes the establishment of the promised kingdom, the kingdom of heaven on earth. Surely the Spirit of God directed the arrangement of the Psalms, and put each into the right place. Here we have a beautiful prophecy of what is yet to be and for which all is... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 72:17

72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call {o} him blessed.(o) They will pray to God for his continuance and know that God prospers them for his sake. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:1-20

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 72:1-20

The Kingship of Jesus Psalms 72:0 There has not been wanting a disposition to empty the so-called Messianic psalms, of their references to Jesus Christ. In a sense, it is not only right but spiritually profitable to get at the immediate and literal meaning of prophecy and psalm, and every other Scripture; at the same time, why should there be any other disposition to limit the signification of the sacred writers to local and transient events, when many of them are evidently charged with... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 72:17

The prophet cannot close the wonderful account of Jesus and his kingdom without once more (as if to draw an everlasting line of distinction between him and all earthly potentates) speaking of the eternity of both, and that in him, and him only, all nations shall be blessed. There is not a blessing out of Christ: so that to obtain happiness, it is indispensably necessary to win Christ, and to be found in him. So the apostle expressed his desire; and so every true believer finds it. Philippians... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:17

Sanctuary. The Church, which teaches all truth; or heaven, (Menochius) or the holy Scriptures, (Lyranus) or rather the counsels of God, which were disclosed to him, (ver. 24.) when he was sensible that the question was not to be answered satisfactorily by human reason. (Calmet) --- The last judgment will explain all. (Haydock) --- In this life, we cannot know the particular causes why the just are afflicted. (Worthington) --- None but the high priest could enter into the Mosaic sanctuary.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:2-17

2-17 This is a prophecy of the kingdom of Christ; many passages in it cannot be applied to the reign of Solomon. There were righteousness and peace at first in the administration of his government; but, before the end of his reign, there were troubles and unrighteousness. The kingdom here spoken of is to last as long as the sun, but Solomon's was soon at an end. Even the Jewish expositors understood it of the kingdom of the Messiah. Observe many great and precious promises here made, which were... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 72:1-20

The Majestic Reign of the Messiah. A psalm for Solomon, composed by Solomon; for he, under whose wise reign Israel reached the summit of its glory and power and was filled with the blessings of the Lord, sang this hymn in honor of the great King and His eternal glory and of the spiritual blessings of His dominion. v. 1. Give the King Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the King's Son. The Messiah is King and the Son of a King. To Him God gives, equips Him with, His... read more
