Day 34: Psalm 72 – Ruling in Righteousness

This is the last psalm of Book 2. It is a prayer from David for his son Solomon. But as you start, praise God for his word and his working in you.

What does the psalmist ask for?

Have you ever asked God to work in a politician, king or leader to bring justice? If so, why?

What attributes define the king in this psalm?

How do we see Jesus as the true king of justice in this psalm and in Revelation 19:11-21?
