18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
18 Blessed God, Israel's God, the one and only wonder-working God!
18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things!
18 Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does such wonderful things.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 72:18
Commentary on Psalm 72:18-20
(Read Psalm 72:18-20)
We are taught to bless God in Christ, for all he has done for us by him. David is earnest in prayer for the fulfilment of this prophecy and promise. It is sad to think how empty the earth is of the glory of God, how little service and honour he has from a world to which he is so bountiful. May we, like David, submit to Christ's authority, and partake of his righteousness and peace. May we bless him for the wonders of redeeming love. May we spend our days, and end our lives, praying for the spread of his gospel.
