72. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart. David was upright before God, and never swerved in heart from the
obedient worship of Jehovah. Whatever faults he had, he was unfeignedly sincere
in his allegiance to Israel’s superior king. And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Under David, the Jewish kingdom first rose to an
honorable position among the nations, and exercised an influence over its
neighbors. In closing the psalm which has described the varying conditions of
the chosen nation, we are glad to end so peacefully. We too may be content to
finish all our songs of love with the reign of the Lord’s anointed. Only we may
eagerly inquire, when will it come? When shall we end these desert roamings,
these rebellions, and chastisings, and enter into the rest of settled kingdom,
with the Lord Jesus reigning?
