PSALM 72
GIVE THE KING YOUR JUSTICE
Solomon wrote this psalm, asking God for wisdom to display justice and righteousness. Because of 1 Kings 3, we know that God answered this prayer by giving Solomon wisdom as well as wealth and a long life.
Solomon shows humility by asking God for guidance during his kingship and acknowledges that the authority of his kingship is nothing compared to God’s heavenly reign.
Psalm 72:11 ESV - "May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!"
STUDY QUESTIONS
- Psalm 72 references 1 Kings 3, which describes Solomon’s request for wisdom from God.
