A King Like the Greatest King

There is always a good story behind a good song and the best songs tell the best stories. The story behind this song (Psalm 72) is a glorious one with multiple layers. It was originally written to capture hopes, prayers, and blessings for a new king at the beginning of his reign. These hopes, prayers and blessings would be repeated for many kings who would come after. But every time this song is sung or read it points God\u2019s people to the greater King who is the fulfillment of our hope, the answer to our prayer and is our greatest blessing.
