Psalms 72 — In His Days Shall the Righteous Flourish
Give the king thy judgments, O God. He shall judge thy people with righteousness. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. All kings shall fall down before him. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
“He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.”
— Psalm 72:8
- v.1-7 The righteous reign
- v.8-19 Universal dominion
A doxology often prayed for missions. The whole earth — His glory.
The psalm closes book 2 of the Psalter. Amen, and Amen — the church's echo.
Verse 19 is a prayer for the world. Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Pray it daily for the nations.
Psalm 72 is a royal-Messianic psalm. The King whose dominion stretches to every shore is Christ; the psalm anticipates His reign.
Quoted in Zechariah 9:10 of the Messianic King. The dominion is global.
A vision for missions. The Lord's reign extends to every shore.
