Psalm 72:5
“They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 72Meaning
Within “Enduring righteousness and peace,” verse 5 asks that reverence for God endure through the generations as long as sun and moon remain; this detail advances the unit's argument and should not be detached from the whole psalm.
Read carefully
Read Psalm 72:5 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 — asks that reverence for God endure through the generations as long as sun and moon remain — while reading it together with the surrounding lines of Psalm 72.
