The Lord Will

Psalm 72:15

“And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 72

Meaning

Within “Flourishing and blessing,” verse 15 imagines continuing prayer and blessing for a ruler whose life is associated with just provision; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.

Read carefully

Read Psalm 72:15 inside its literary unit and the movement of Psalm 72; its imagery and claims are constrained by that context.

Reflection

Respond to the verse's specific emphasis — imagines continuing prayer and blessing for a ruler whose life is associated with just provision — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 72.
