On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It was a comfort to David that his own son was to be his successor, but more so that he was likely to be both judicious and righteous. David had given him a good education ( Prov. iv. 3 ), had taught him good judgment and righteous, yet that would not do unless God gave him his judgments.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This was the last psalm that ever he penned, though not placed last in this collection; he penned it when he lay on his death-bed, and with this he breathes his last: "Let God be glorified, let the kingdom of the Messiah be set up, and kept up, in the world, and I have enough, I desire no more. With this let the prayers of David the son of Jesse be ended.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
