Psalms 72:1

Verse 1. Asaph. See Psalms 49. We shall not undertake to decide whether he composed or only sung this psalm; (Bert.) or whether he lived under David or Josaphat, or rather during the captivity. Those who attribute all the psalms to David, get rid of many such inquires: but they are involved in other difficulties, ( Calmet.) which are not insurmountable. Bible.—How. Hebrew “Surely,” as if an answer was given to what had long troubled the author. Bert.—God is more excellent and beneficent ( Bible.) than any tongue can express. Worthington.
