This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse
This concludes
The phrase "this concludes" signifies a definitive end or completion. In the Hebrew text, the word used is "כָּלּוּ" (kalu), which means to be finished or completed. This suggests a sense of fulfillment and finality. In the context of Psalm 72, it marks the end of a collection of prayers attributed to David. This completion is not just a cessation but a fulfillment of a divine purpose, reflecting the idea that David's prayers have reached their intended conclusion, aligning with God's sovereign plan.

the prayers
The term "prayers" in Hebrew is "תְּפִלּוֹת" (tefillot), which refers to supplications or petitions directed towards God. David's prayers are not merely personal requests but are deeply interwoven with his role as king and shepherd of Israel. They reflect a heart seeking God's will, guidance, and blessing for his people. Historically, David's prayers have been a source of inspiration and model for believers, emphasizing the importance of earnest communication with God.

of David
"David" is a central figure in the Bible, known as a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). His name in Hebrew, "דָּוִד" (David), means "beloved." David's life, marked by triumphs and failures, is a testament to God's grace and faithfulness. His prayers, as recorded in the Psalms, reveal a deep, personal relationship with God, characterized by repentance, worship, and trust. David's legacy as a king and psalmist continues to influence and inspire believers in their spiritual journey.

son of Jesse
The phrase "son of Jesse" roots David in his familial and historical context. Jesse, or "יִשַׁי" (Yishai) in Hebrew, was a Bethlehemite, and his lineage is significant in the biblical narrative, as it establishes David's rightful place in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:1-16). This connection underscores the fulfillment of God's promises through David's line, culminating in the Messiah. It highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout history, from David to Jesus, offering hope and assurance to believers.

Verse 20. - The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. This is a note appended, either by the collector of the first two Books of the Psalms, or by the collector of the Third Book, who thus marked the difference between the previous collection and his own, the former containing sixty psalms ascribed to David in their titles, and the latter one only (Psalm 86).
