Psalms 72:15 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Here is another evidence of the perpetuity and everlasting duration of his kingdom; and another of the blessed consequences of it, in the prayers and praises continually and daily presented to him, and presented for him. Believers shall look up to him for all the graces of the Spirit, and for unceasing communion with him, and the enjoyment of him. Sinners upon earth and saints in heaven shall have continued access to his throne; and in his life his people shall live. He hath said himself - Because I live, ye shall live also; John 14:19. But how are we to understand that prayer is to be made for him? everyone doth this who is asking the blessings of redemption of the Father in his name, and for the spread of his name and gospel. And is not prayer made for him continually, when, in the ardency of faith, the church devoutly prays, Lord, hasten thy second coming, and be thou as a roe or the young hart upon the mountains of spices? Song of Solomon 8:14. Yes! thou blessed Holy One of thy people, will not all, whom thou hast called and justified freely by thy grace, long for thy coming, who have presented to thee, what in thy sight is infinitely more precious than the gold of Sheba, their souls and bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is their reasonable service? Romans 12:1.
