Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 72:2

2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

To wit, if thou givest him what I have desired. And by this prediction he doth [illegible: 1+ letters]acitly admonish him of, and oblige him to the performance of his Duty herein. Or, Let him Iudge▪ the Future being put for the Imperative, as hath been oft observed. So it is a Prayer.

For they are thine more than his; and therefore he must not govern them according to his own Will and Pleasure, but according to the Rules of thy Word▪ and for thy Service and Glory.

Or, thy aflicted, or oppressed ones; for such are thine in a special manner, thou art their Judge and Patron, Psal. 68. 5. and hast Commanded all thy People, and especially Kings and Magistrates, to take a singular Care of them, because they have few or no Friends.
