Psalms 72:12 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.

Ver. 12. For he shall deliver the needy] See on Psalms 72:4. If the people complained of Solomon's government, and cried out to his son Rehoboam, Alleva iugum, Ease our yoke laid upon us by thy father, it was out of a sinful discontent; αει γαρ το παρον Bαρυ, saith Thucydides, people seldom know when they are well, but are ever quarrelling at and complaining of the present govermnent; yea, even of Christ's easy yoke and light burden, as if importable.
