Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 72:5

5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

Or Reverence, or Worship, as this Word is used, Isa. 29. 13. Compared with Mat. 15. 9. and elsewere.

Which was begun in Solomon's days and continued, though not without Interruption, in the time of his Successors, the Kings of Iudah, and afterwards until Christ, in and by whom this Prediction and Promise was most fully accomplished. Heb. With the Sun and before the Moon, (i. e.) Whilst they continue in the Heavens. Others expound it thus, both Day and Night▪ as the twelve Tribes are said to serve God, Act. 26. 7. But the former Interpretation seems more probable, by Comparing this Verse with v. 17.
