Psalms 72:18-20
The Righteous King, the Poor, and the Nations Blessed in His Reign
Psalm 72 moves from petition for God-given royal justice, to the social fruit of peace and protection for the poor, to worldwide dominion and tribute, to compassionate redemption of the needy, to abundance and nations-blessing, and finally to a doxology that redirects all royal hope to the LORD God of Israel.
