Commentary on Psalms 72:20

Theological / Devotional

Prayers of David. This verse is probably an inscription of identification (a colophon), at the close of Book Two, to designate the fact that there are more Davidic psalms in Books One and Two than in Book Three (which carries the name of David in only one superscription). However, it has been observed that the verse may be interpreted as pertaining only to Ps. 72 in the sense that David had nothing more to pray for in that connection at that time.
