Ps 72:1-19.
英文原文
Ps 72:1-19.
For, or literally, "of Solomon." The closing verse rather relates to the second book of Psalms, of which this is the last, and was perhaps added by some collector, to intimate that the collection, to which, as chief author, David's name was appended, was closed. In this view, these may consistently be the productions of others included, as of Asaph, sons of Korah, and Solomon; and a few of David's may be placed in the latter series. The fact that here the usual mode of denoting authorship is used, is strongly conclusive that Solomon was the author, especially as no stronger objection appears than what has been now set aside. The Psalm, in highly wrought figurative style, describes the reign of a king as "righteous, universal, beneficent, and perpetual." By the older Jewish and most modern Christian interpreters, it has been referred to Christ, whose reign, present and prospective, alone corresponds with its statements. As the imagery of the second Psalm was drawn from the martial character of David's reign, that of this is from the peaceful and prosperous state of Solomon's.
1. Give the king, &c.--a prayer which is equivalent to a prediction.
judgments--the acts, and (figuratively) the principles of a right government
(Joh 5:22; 9:39).
righteousness--qualifications for conducting such a government.
king's son--same person as a king--a very proper title for Christ, as such in both natures.

你的百姓……和你的窮人——或作「溫柔人」，即他治理下敬虔的子民。
英文原文
2, &c. The effects of such a government by one thus endowed are detailed.
thy people . . . and thy poor--or, "meek," the pious subjects of his government.

結出——或按字面作「結生」它如出產之物。
以公義——即藉著他那極其公正良善的治理方法。
英文原文
3. As mountains and hills are not usually productive, they are here selected to show the abundance of peace, being represented as
bringing--or, literally, "bearing" it as a produce.
by righteousness--that is, by means of his eminently just and good methods of ruling.

4. 那平安——包括繁榮——是基督掌權時顯著的特徵
（Isa 2:4； Isa 9:6; 11:9），
將體現在為無助與窮乏者所預備的保障上，也體現在加諸欺壓者的刑罰上——他們傷害、擾亂他人平安的能力必被除滅（參
Isa 65:25； Zec 9:10）。
窮苦人的孩子——即窮乏人（參外人的兒子，
Ps 18:45
[旁註]）。
英文原文
4. That peace, including prosperity, as an eminent characteristic of Christ's reign
(Isa 2:4; Isa 9:6; 11:9),
will be illustrated in the security provided for the helpless and needy, and the punishment inflicted on oppressors, whose power to injure or mar the peace of others will be destroyed (compare
Isa 65:25; Zec 9:10).
children of the needy--for the needy (compare sons of strangers,
Ps 18:45
[Margin]).

英文原文

8. 所提的外邦
（Ps 72:9, 10）
不能包含在所羅門國度的疆界之內，若這話是設計來指明其邊界的。這些詞語雖取自用以指以色列所得之地的
（Ex 23:31； De 11:24）， 卻必有更廣的含義。如此，「地極」從不用來指巴勒斯坦，而是始終指全世界（參旁註）。
英文原文
8. The foreign nations mentioned
(Ps 72:9, 10)
could not be included in the limits, if designed to indicate the boundaries of Solomon's kingdom. The terms, though derived from those used
(Ex 23:31; De 11:24)
to denote the possessions of Israel, must have a wider sense. Thus, "ends of the earth" is never used of Palestine, but always of the world (compare Margin).

16. 屬靈的福分——如聖經常作的——以物質的豐盛來描繪；其豐盛以一比喻說明：在最不宜耕作之處，一「把」（原文直譯為「一塊」或一小部分）穀種，也要長出如利巴嫩林木般在風中搖曳、極其茂盛的莊稼。
城裏……地上的——此句表示人口迅速而豐盛的增加——
從——或作「出於」
城——耶路撒冷，那預表性國度的中心與所在。
發旺——或作如新草閃亮——即開花。這人口的增加與地的出產相稱。照樣，福音的福分既廣傳，在基督作元首的教會之中，也必興起越來越多承受這福分的人。
英文原文
16. The spiritual blessings, as often in Scripture, are set forth by material, the abundance of which is described by a figure, in which a "handful" (or literally, "a piece," or small portion) of corn in the most unpropitious locality, shall produce a crop, waving in the wind in its luxuriant growth, like the forests of Lebanon.
they of the city . . . earth--This clause denotes the rapid and abundant increase of population--
of--or, "from"
the city--Jerusalem, the center and seat of the typical kingdom.
flourish--or, glitter as new grass--that is, bloom. This increase corresponds with the increased productiveness. So, as the gospel blessings are diffused, there shall arise increasing recipients of them, out of the Church in which Christ resides as head.

18, 19. 這些話以與上下文風格一致的措辭結束本篇；而
Ps 72:20
從其散文式的風格看，顯然是為了上文所說明的目的而加添的〔參看
Ps 72:1 註釋〕。
英文原文
18, 19. These words close the Psalm in terms consistent with the style of the context, while
Ps 72:20
is evidently, from its prosaic style, an addition for the purpose above explained [see on

20. 結束——字面是「完畢」或「完成」；這詞從不表示應驗，除非在很晚的用法中，如
Ezr 1:1；Da 12:7。
英文原文
20. ended--literally, "finished," or completed; the word never denotes fulfilment, except in a very late usage, as in
Ezr 1:1; Da 12:7.
Ps 72:1-19.
所羅門的，或字面作「屬所羅門」。末節較可能關乎詩篇第二卷——本篇為該卷最末一篇——或許是某位編纂者所加，表示以大衛為主要作者而附其名的這卷合集已告完成。按此觀點，其中可以一致地包含其他作者的作品，如亞薩、可拉的後裔、所羅門的；而大衛的少數詩篇也可能被置於後面的卷中。此處使用慣常標示作者的方式，有力地證明作者是所羅門，尤其因為除現在已排除的反對意見外，並無更強的反證。本篇以高度雕琢的比喻風格，描述一位君王的統治是「公義、普世、恩澤廣被、且永遠長存的」。較早期的猶太註釋家與大多數現代基督教註釋家，都將本篇歸於基督，因為惟有基督現今與將來的統治與其內容相符。正如第二篇的意象取自大衛統治的尚武特質，本篇的意象則取自所羅門治下和平繁榮的景象。
1. 神啊，求你將……賜給王等——這禱告等同於一個預言。
判斷——即正當治理的作為，並（比喻性地）指其原則
(Joh 5:22; 9:39)。
公義——即施行此種治理的資格。
王的兒子——即同一位王——這稱呼對基督十分恰當，因祂在二性中皆如此。
