Psalm 72
1. David, praying for Solomon, shows the goodness and glory of God's kingdom
18. He blessed God














And blessed be
The phrase "blessed be" is a call to praise and honor. In Hebrew, the word for "blessed" is "barak," which means to kneel or to bless. This implies an act of adoration and reverence towards God. The use of "blessed" here signifies a deep acknowledgment of God's supreme holiness and worthiness of worship. It is a reminder that our lives should be a continuous act of blessing God, recognizing His sovereignty and goodness.

His glorious name
The "glorious name" refers to the divine name of God, which in Hebrew is often represented as "YHWH" or Yahweh. This name is considered sacred and is a representation of God's eternal and unchanging nature. The glory of His name encompasses His attributes, character, and deeds. Historically, the name of God was so revered that it was spoken with great caution and respect. This phrase calls believers to honor God's name in all aspects of life, reflecting His glory through our actions and words.

forever
The term "forever" in Hebrew is "olam," which denotes eternity or perpetual existence. This emphasizes the eternal nature of God's glory and the everlasting praise due to Him. It is a reminder that God's reign and majesty are not confined to time but extend beyond human understanding. The eternal aspect of God's glory assures believers of His unchanging presence and faithfulness throughout all generations.

may all the earth be filled
This phrase is a prophetic and hopeful declaration that envisions a time when God's presence and glory will permeate every corner of the earth. It reflects the biblical theme of God's kingdom being established on earth as it is in heaven. The desire for the earth to be filled with God's glory is rooted in the understanding that creation itself is a testament to God's majesty and power. It calls believers to participate in spreading the knowledge of God and His glory to all nations.

with His glory
The "glory" of God, in Hebrew "kavod," signifies weightiness, honor, and splendor. It is the manifestation of God's presence and power. Throughout scripture, God's glory is often associated with His divine presence, as seen in the tabernacle and the temple. The filling of the earth with His glory points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, where His presence will be fully realized and acknowledged by all creation.

Amen and Amen
The repetition of "Amen" serves as a strong affirmation of the preceding statements. "Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning "truly" or "so be it," and its use here underscores the certainty and earnestness of the psalmist's prayer. It is a declaration of faith and agreement with God's purposes. The double "Amen" emphasizes the importance and truth of the prayer, inviting all believers to join in this affirmation of God's eternal glory and the hope of His kingdom's fullness on earth.
