He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
All Commentaries on Psalms 72:6 Go To Psalms 72
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Justice. Hebrew, "the just "who appear most under a good king, being animated by his example. (Haydock)
Away. Chaldean, "till those who adore the moon be exterminated. "This idolatry pervaded almost all the east. Solomon's reign was very peaceable, 3 Kings iv. 25. But this was only a feeble representation of the peace which Christ should bring. At his birth, the whole world was at peace. Angels proclaimed it to all the earth, Luke ii. 14., and Isaias ii. 4. (Calmet)
It is certain, that the internal peace of Solomon's reign did not continue to the end, (Haydock) much less till the moon should be taken away. (Berthier)
