Psalms 72:7-8

Context

72:7 During his days the godly will flourish; 1 

peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky. 2 

72:8 May he rule 3  from sea to sea, 4 

and from the Euphrates River 5  to the ends of the earth!

1 tn Heb “sprout up,” like crops. This verse continues the metaphor of rain utilized in v. 6.

2 tn Heb “and [there will be an] abundance of peace until there is no more moon.”

3 tn The prefixed verbal form is a (shortened) jussive form, indicating this is a prayer of blessing.

4 sn From sea to sea. This may mean from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Dead Sea in the east. See Amos 8:12. The language of this and the following line also appears in Zech 9:10.

5 tn Heb “the river,” a reference to the Euphrates.
