Psa 72:1, …Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son.
The LORD had appeared to Solomon in a dream and said, “ASK! WHAT SHALL I GIVE YOU”, 1Kings 3:5-13
1Ki 3:9, THEREFORE GIVE TO YOUR SERVANT AN UNDERSTANDING HEART TO JUDGE YOUR PEOPLE, THAT I MAY DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. FOR WHO IS ABLE TO JUDGE THIS GREAT PEOPLE OF YOURS?”
Solomon asked for wisdom to be able to judge the people of GOD! And it pleased the LORD! WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ASK FOR IF THE LORD TOLD YOU THE SAME THING?
Psa 72:2,4-5, HE WILL JUDGE YOUR PEOPLE WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, And Your poor with JUSTICE…. He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor. THEY SHALL FEAR YOU AS LONG AS THE SUN AND MOON ENDURE, THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS.
Solomon is not thinking of himself here; he is thinking of the Greater SON of David which is the coming Messiah “JESUS”! HE will rule the whole earth with righteousness and justice!
Psa 72:10-11, The kings of Tarshish and of the isles WILL BRING PRESENTS; The kings of Sheba and Seba WILL OFFER GIFTS. YES, ALL KINGS SHALL FALL DOWN BEFORE HIM; ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM.
Kings brought gifts to HIM and kneeled before HIM at HIS first coming. BUT, in HIS second coming ALL KINGS SHALL FALL DOWN BEFORE HIM AND BRING HIM PRESENTS!
Mat 2:11, …they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, AND FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM. AND WHEN THEY HAD OPENED THEIR TREASURES, THEY PRESENTED GIFTS TO HIM: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Psa 72:13-14, HE will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. HE will redeem their life from oppression and violence; AND PRECIOUS SHALL BE THEIR BLOOD IN HIS SIGHT.
Today, when a homeless person dies on the street no one really cares! Or, when a baby is ripped apart in the womb of it’s mother, we call a right! BUT HE CARES FOR ALL LIVES, NOT JUST THE WELL TODO! IN HIS EYES THEIR BLOOD IS PRECIOUS TO HIM FOR HE CREATED THEM ALL!
Psa 116:15, Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.
