PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 72:5 while the sun endures, till the moon be no more (that is, always). This span of time suggests that this psalm ultimately refers to the Messiah. May they fear you. “They” may be God’s people (vv. Psalms 72:1), or people in general (vv. Psalms 72:8). In either case, the heir of David serves as God’s representative to the people, and is to be honored and obeyed.
