What's REALLY Behind Psalm 72's Powerful Message?

** This song, titled "Justice in His Hands," is inspired by Psalm 72, a prayer for the king often attributed to Solomon, David’s son. Psalm 72 is believed to reflect David’s hopes and blessings for Solomon as he prepared him to inherit the throne. David’s prayer is not just for his son but for a model of leadership grounded in righteousness, compassion, and the pursuit of peace. The psalm beautifully articulates a king’s duty to uphold justice, defend the poor, and bring prosperity to the land. Through this psalm, David expresses a timeless hope for leaders who would act as guardians for all, lifting up the needy and embodying God’s wisdom.

** Psalm 72 (World English Bible)

1 God, give the king your justice;
your righteousness to the royal son.
2 He will judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice.

3 The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people.
The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4 He will judge the poor of the people.
He will save the children of the needy,
and will break the oppressor in pieces.

5 They shall fear you while the sun endures;
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 He will come down like rain on the mown grass,
as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days, the righteous shall flourish,
and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,
from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him.
His enemies shall lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute.
The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before him.
All nations shall serve him.

12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries;
the poor, who has no helper.
13 He will have pity on the poor and needy.
He will save the souls of the needy.
14 He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence.
Their blood will be precious in his sight.

15 They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba.
Men shall pray for him continually.
They shall bless him all day long.

(Verse 1)

Teach him how to rule this land.
Let him judge with truth and mercy,
Hold the poor in his strong hand.

From sea to sea, let peace flow wide,
From river’s edge to mountains high,
Let justice roll like a mighty tide,
And lift the weak to touch the sky.

The mountains bring prosperity,
Hills bear fruits of righteousness.
Mountains bring prosperity,
Hills bear fruits of righteousness.
Let the children of the needy rise,
Let them taste deliverance.

Like showers watering the land.
Oh, he’ll come down like rain on grass,
Like showers watering the land.
In his days, the righteous flourish,
And peace stands where kings once stand.

“All kings shall fall down before him,
All nations shall serve at his feet.
From Sheba’s gold to distant shores,
They’ll bring their gifts, they’ll seek his peace.”

Yes, he’ll save the broken-hearted,
And hear the poor man’s cry.
Yes, he’ll save the broken-hearted,
And hear the poor man’s cry.
Redeem the soul from violence,
Blood so precious in his eyes.

From sea to sea, let peace flow wide,
From river’s edge to mountains high,
Let justice roll like a mighty tide,
And lift the weak to touch the sky.

Blessed be his holy name,
Let all the earth shout out his fame,
Let his glory fill this land,
Justice and mercy in his hand.
