Understanding the message
Psalm 72 expresses hope for righteous rule. Notice its references to the poor, needy, and oppressed. Their flourishing belongs within the measure of good leadership.
Praising God’s justice invites us to examine our use of money, authority, and words. Loving service listens to actual needs rather than deciding for others without hearing them.
