Psalm 72 is the final psalm of David.
In this psalm, David describes many qualities and duties of a king.
The king has a love of justice, righteousness, and judges people in the right way as prescribed by the Wisdom of the Lord.
The poor will always be treated fairly.
The oppressors of the needy will be crushed.
The king's rule is as refreshing as spring rain or freshly cut grass, and there will be an abundance of prosperity.
Throughout this psalm is a constant need for the poor and needy to be defended and provided for. Their needs will be met with abundance, so they can thrive and grow like grass in a field.
Reading this psalm definitely portraits not only an earthly king, but the One King in our Lord, through His Son Jesus.
May He reign forever and ever. Amen.
