Psalm 72:18
“Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 72Meaning
Within “Doxology and collection close,” verse 18 turns from the king to bless the LORD, insisting that God alone is the ultimate worker of wonders; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 72:18 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 — turns from the king to bless the LORD, insisting that God alone is the ultimate worker of wonders — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 72.
