1 Give the king your judgments, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son. 7 In his days may the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon is no more. 8 May he also rule from sea so sea and from the river to the ends of the earth. 17 Let his name endure forever; may his name increase as long as the sun shines; and let men bless themselves by him; let all nations call him blessed. 18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone works wonders. 19 And blessed he his glorious name forever; and may the wole earth be filled with his glory. 20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
In the Psalter, there are 150 psalms of which David authored 73 of them. This composition is his final psalm as he was nearing the end of his days. In it, he blesses his son Solomon who will reign after him, but these same blessing will not come into their fullness until the second advent of Jesus Christ, David's Greater Son according to God's covenant with him. David also blesses the Lord. Sometimes we may not understand that we can bless God just as we seek his blessing. One of the ways we can bless the Lord is through obedience where we show to him that we are his true son or daughter.
Daily Prayer: Father I do bless you for who you are and what you do. I have become a son of God by the righteousness of Jesus Christ and like David look forward to a day when I will dwell in your house forever. In your name I pray Amen.
