Psalm 72 is a prayer for a king. The inscription or title reads, “Of Solomon.” It is appropriate to understand that this is a prayer written for the leadership of Solomon. Some scholars would even go so far as to say that the prayer could be attributed to David as he prays for his son who would be king. I think of this Psalm in that way. I imagine David as a father, holding his son in his arms and praying that God will grant him a life of great things. A prayer that his son would honor God in righteousness, generosity, mercy, justice, and wisdom. A father who prays that his son would seek God throughout his life and come to understand that anything truly great is a work of God. It is a prayer I hope we are praying for our children. It is a prayer I hope we are praying for our elders, preachers, deacons, and Bible class teachers. I hope we are praying for our fathers and mothers to honor God in all that we do. It is a touching prayer that points us to the hand and heart of God.
