Psalms 72:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 72:2
The prayer for the king to 'judge thy people with righteousness' and 'thy poor with judgment' requests just rule that especially protects the vulnerable. Righteous judgment means impartial justice, not favoring rich or powerful. 'Thy poor' emphasizes that even the lowly belong to God, deserving dignified treatment. This messianic psalm ultimately describes Christ's perfect reign where justice flows like a river (Amos 5:24) and the meek inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5).
