Give the King Thy Judgments

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 72:1-12. Psalm 72 is a Psalm for Solomon, which is thought to be written by David for his son. He asks God to give the king justice, righteousness, and peace with the people. This Scripture is also compared to the reign of Jesus Christ. He will judge the people with righteousness.

All nations will bow down and serve him. He will help the poor and needy. He will come down from heaven like the rain. The kings from every nation will bring gifts to him. He will rule and reign forever.

David had all these thoughts and prayers for his son. I believe, as David did, that our prayers can make a difference in the lives of our young people. I pray for my children and grandchildren every day. I ask God to watch over them and protect them. I also ask Him to lead, guide, and direct in their lives. In what ways do you pray for the younger generation in your life?

 

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 72:1-12

1 [[[A Psalm] for Solomon.]] Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
2 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

 

Things to think about:

• How can we prepare for Jesus’ coming?
• How does it make you feel when you read “all nations will bow to Him”?
• In what ways do you fear the Lord?

About the book:

The Book of Psalms:Part 3 Chapters 61-90 by Deborah H. Bateman is 28th book in the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book contains approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 will not be included in The Book of Psalms since Deborah has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet.

The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from his enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms: Part 3 Chapters 61-90 contains fifty Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day.
