Psalms72:1
Whole Psalm.
1. He shall.
2. They shall. Ring the changes on these, as the Psalm does.
The prayer of the ancient church now fulfilled.
1. Our Lord's titles.
(a) King, by divine nature.
(b) King's Son, in both natures. Thus we see his power innate and derived.
2. Our Lord's authority: "Judgments."
(a) To rule his people.
(b) To rule the world for his people's benefit.
(c) To judge mankind.
(d) To judge devils.
3. Our Lord's character. He is righteous in rewarding and punishing, righteous towards God and man.
4. Our loyal prayer. This asks for his rule over ourselves and the universe.
