提要
偉大的以色列上帝究竟有多麼配得讚美?今天你所讀的詩篇裡,大衛與所羅門將要回答這個問題。上帝配得讚美是因祂的審判(詩67),祂的憐憫和供應(詩68),祂垂聽祂子民的哀求(詩69-70),賜力量給軟弱者(詩71),以及對萬國統治的主權(詩72)。 |

每日與主同行
當你讀詩篇七十二篇時,要多留意這位「公義統治者職掌,這對你以禱告支持國家元首、地方首長及屬靈領袖有一些脈絡可尋。比方說,一位公義正直的統治者應該關心:
●把平安帶給百姓(詩72:3,7)。
●幫助困苦窮乏的人和遭到期壓的人(詩72:4,12-14)。
●對全地的自然律心存敬畏。(詩72:5)。
●經過公義的改革,百姓必要更新(詩72:6,7)。
把這首詩和以賽亞書十一章一至五節作一比較,你很快就會發現這首詩中所預言的是誰:就是耶穌基督,以色列的彌賽亞!這首詩的重心在:「人要常常為他禱告,終日稱頌他」(詩72:15)詩篇七十二篇的作者所羅門,深知上帝在每一世代的代表都需要、也應配得這些禱告與讚美。
現在停下來,為那些執政掌權者向上帝感謝,並求上帝在他們身為公僕的艱鉅角色上施恩幫助,或許你甚至想寫一封短箋給一位或多位你選舉出來的政府官員,和他分享你在詩篇七十二篇所學到的功課。

默想
從古代詩篇中產生的現代詩歌
至少有兩首偉大的信心詩歌是從詩篇七十二篇中孕育而成的!那是孟塔明瑞的「慶賀膏立之基督」,及以撒•華特的「救主權能」!

禱告是靈魂的盾牌,是對上帝的奉獻,是對撒但的懲罰。 |

Overview
Just how praiseworthy is the great God of Israel? David and Solomon will show you as you read these psalms today. God is worthy of praise for His judgments (67), His compassion and provision (68), His attentiveness to the cry of His children (69-70), His strength on behalf of the weak (71), and His sovereignty over the nations (72). |

Your Daily Walk
As you read Psalm 72, watch for the "Job Description of a Righteous Ruler." That will give you specific points to pray about as you uphold your national, local, and spiritual leaders in prayer. For example, a righteous ruler is to be concerned with:
... bringing peace to the people (w. 3, 7)
.... assisting the poor, needy, and oppressed (w. 4, 12-14)
..,. generating a godly fear for the laws of the land (v. 5)
.... refreshing the people through righteous reform (w. 6-7).
Compare this psalm with Isaiah 11:1-5, and you will soon see who is prophetically pictured in this psalm: none other than Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel! But buried in the heart of the psalm is this statement: "Prayer also .shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised" (v, 15). Solomon, the author of Psalm 72, knew that God's representative in any generation needs and deserves the prayers and praises of his subjects.
Stop right now and thank God for those who serve in positions of authority over you. Pray that God will help them in their difficult roles as servants of the people. You might even want to write a short note to one or more of your elected officials, sharing what you have learned from Psalm 72.

Insight
Modern Songs from an Ancient Psalm —
At least two great hymns of the faith were spawned from the reading of Psalm 72: James Montgomery's "Hail to the Lord's Anointed," and Isaac Watts s well-known "Jesus Shall Reign." |
Adage
Prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan. |
