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 - May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him!
