Salmos 72:4-8 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 72:2-17

This is a prophecy of the prosperity and perpetuity of the kingdom of Christ under the shadow of the reign of Solomon. It comes in, 1. As a plea to enforce the prayer: ?Lord, give him thy judgments and thy righteousness, and then he shall judge thy people with righteousness, and so shall answer the end of his elevation, Ps. 72:2. Give him thy grace, and then thy people, committed to his charge, will have the benefit of it.? Because God loved Israel, he made him king over them to do judgment... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:4

He shall judge the poor of the people ,.... Of the people of God, whether among Jews or Gentiles; See Gill on Psalm 72:2 ; he shall save the children of the needy ; whose parents being needy, they are so too, in a spiritual sense, and in distressed circumstances. Such Christ saves from their sins; from the curses and condemnation of the law: from, wrath to come, and out of the hands of all their enemies; and shall break in pieces the oppressor ; the tyrant Satan, the god of this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:5

They shall fear thee ,.... The King Messiah, the Judge of the poor, and the destroyer of the oppressor: either the tyrants and oppressors themselves shall fear him, and such who have been aiding and assisting to them; see Revelation 11:11 ; or rather the people of God, the poor of the people, and children of the needy, judged and saved by Christ; who shall fear the Lord, both internally and externally, in the exercise of grace, and in the performance of religious worship; in all the parts... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:6

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass ,.... That is, the King and King's Son, the Messiah, whose coming is compared to rain, and showers of it; see Hosea 6:3 ; and may be understood of his incarnation; when, like rain, he came down from heaven; not by an illapse or entrance of the human nature, which before was not in him; nor by local motion of his divine Person, with which that will not agree; but by assumption of human nature into union with him, as the Son of God; which was... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:7

In his days shall the righteous flourish ,.... As the grass of the field, Psalm 72:16 ; the dews and rain of grace descending upon them; and as a branch, Proverbs 11:28 . They being branches in Christ the vine, flourish and bring forth fruit; and as the palm tree, Psalm 92:12 ; which the more it is pressed with weights, the more it grows; so they, the more they are afflicted, as the Israelites, the more they grow in grace and experience, and become fruitful in every good word and work;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 72:8

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea ,.... The same is said of the Messiah in Zechariah 9:10 ; where he is manifestly spoken of as here, and regards the extent of his dominion; not over the land of Israel only, as some think; but over the Gentile world, through the preaching of the Gospel in the several parts of it; and especially as it will be in the latter day, when the kingdoms of this world will be his, and he will be King over all the earth; see Revelation 17:14 ; which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:5

They shall fear thee - There is no sense in which this can be spoken of Solomon, nor indeed of any other man: it belongs to Jesus Christ, and to him alone. He is the Prance of peace, who shall be feared and reverenced "through all generations, and as long as the sun and moon endure." read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:6

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass - The word גז gez , which we translate mown grass, more properly means pastured grass or pastured land; for the dew of the night is intended to restore the grass which has been eaten in the course of the day. This very idea the Chaldee has seized, and renders the place thus: "He shall descend gently, like rain upon the grass which has been eaten by the locust." But there seems to be a reference to the thick night dews which in summer fall... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:7

In his days shall the righteous flourish - There was nothing but peace and prosperity all the days of Solomon: for, "In his days Judah and Israel dwelt safely; every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beersheba;" 1 Kings 4:25 . So long as the moon endureth - ירח בלי עד ad beli yareach , "Till there be no more moon." read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 72:8

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea - The best comment on this, as it refers to Solomon, may be found in 1 Kings 4:21 , 1 Kings 4:24 ; : "And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms, from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt; for he had dominion over all on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river; and he had peace on all sides round about him." Solomon, it appears, reigned over all the provinces... read more
