Psalms 72:16
_ _ The spiritual blessings, as often in Scripture, are set forth by material, the abundance of which is described by a figure, in which a “handful” (or literally, “a piece,” or small portion) of corn in the most unpropitious locality, shall produce a crop, waving in the wind in its luxuriant growth, like the forests of Lebanon.
_ _ they of the city ... earth — This clause denotes the rapid and abundant increase of population —
_ _ of — or, “from”
_ _ the city — Jerusalem, the center and seat of the typical kingdom.
_ _ flourish — or, glitter as new grass — that is, bloom. This increase corresponds with the increased productiveness. So, as the gospel blessings are diffused, there shall arise increasing recipients of them, out of the Church in which Christ resides as head. |
Psalms 72:16
A handful — This intimates the small beginnings of his kingdom; and therefore does not agree to Solomon, whose kingdom was in a manner as large at the beginning of his reign, as at the end, but it exactly agrees to Christ. The earth — Sown in the earth. Mountains — In the most barren grounds. Shake — It shall yield such abundance of corn, that the ears being thick and high, shall, when they are shaken with the wind, make a noise not unlike that which the tops of the trees of Lebanon, sometimes make. Of the city — The citizens of Jerusalem, which are here put for the subjects of this kingdom. |
