Commentary on Psalms 72:2
Theological / DevotionalHe shall judge. Or, “may he judge.” This verb and the main verbs throughout the psalm may be translated as futures, describing the ideal king, as he shall be; or as optatives, expressing a wish, “may he judge,” etc. (see 1 Kings 3:6–9; Isa. 11:2–5; 32:1).
Thy poor. Righteous judgment of the poor, who are often the victims of unjust judgment, implies the impartial administration of justice (see on Deut. 1:17).
