Deep down, humans long for justice — for all wrongs to be made right. Psalm 72 expresses this deep longing and presents the administration of justice, particularly on behalf of the poor and needy, as one of the key missions for the kings of Israel. However, this psalm goes further and points forward to a King who delivers perfect justice and righteousness, but in the most surprising way.
