Psalm of the Great King - Psalm 72

It is commonly thought that Psalm 72 was written by Solomon.

J.M. Boice points out that: “… it is not as a psalm of Solomon that this poem has commended itself so deeply to the synagogue and church. It is because it portrays the ideal king, and in the minds of Christian people this ideal king has always rightly been understood to be the Lord Jesus Christ” Boice’s outline seems to be based upon Alexander’s (cf. Spurgeon’s notes). It seemed best to me to combine my thoughts about outlining the text with these to produce, hopefully, a more helpful framework for interpretation.
