72:4 The rule of the ideal king is righteous and just (v. 1), he will be a champion for the afflicted and the needy, and have pity on the weak and the poor (vv. 12-14). Thus, the psalmist petitioned God for the prosperity of the anointed king and his realm (vv. 15-17).
72:18-20 This passage, with its doxology (ascription of praise), marks the end of Book II of Psalms, and also of the collection called “the prayers of David,” although Davidic psalms appear later in the book.
