Psalm 72

This prayer is an expansion of the New Testament prayer, “Thy Kingdom come.” It is the type of prayer that should arise out of the hears of God’s people who desire to see His glory cover the earth.

This revelation put the problem in the perspective of eternity (17-20) and reveals the blessing enjoyed by the righteous which is greater than any suffering (25-28). The Psalmist almost slipped w...
