Ps 72 This royal psalm closes Book Two, with 72:18-20 functioning as an epilogue to all of Book Two. The psalmist reflects on the prospects of David’s royal line and on Zion (see Pss 46, 48). He prays that Israel’s kings will be good and prosperous, extending the Lord’s blessing on his people throughout the whole earth. The surpassing righteousness and dominion sought in this prayer foreshadow the coming of Jesus, the Son of David.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
the righteous
(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days,his law-abiding/just and,abound peace until no_more moon )
The adjective “righteous” can be translated as a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “righteous people”
in his days
(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days,his law-abiding/just and,abound peace until no_more moon )
This could mean: (1) “while the king rules” or (2) “as long as the righteous person lives” or “as long as the righteous people live.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
may there be an abundance of peace
(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days,his law-abiding/just and,abound peace until no_more moon )
The psalmist speaks as if peace were a physical object like food. An “abundance” is when there is much of something. This can be restated to remove the abstract nouns “abundance” and “peace.” Alternate translation: “may righteous people live peacefully” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
till the moon is no more
(Some words not found in UHB: flourish in/on/at/with,days,his law-abiding/just and,abound peace until no_more moon )
