This week we read psalms 61 - 90
I want to look at the last psalm in book 2 - Psalm 72.
Psalm 72 is one of the royal psalms - the heading - of Solomon is found in only two psalms; this one and psalm 127.
Verses 1 through 4 honor the king as a provider of justice
Verses 5-8 are a prayer for the long reign of the king
Verses 9 -11 lists the tributes brought to the king by foreign nations
Verses 12 -15 restate the first 11 verses
Verses 16 & 17 are a prayer for the king's heirs
Verses 18 - 20 are the doxology at the end of the second section of psalms
