Gill's Exposition on Psalms 72:17
His name shall endure for ever,.... As a King; for he is chiefly spoken of here in his kingly office: not merely the fame of him; for so the fame of an earthly king; even of a tyrant, may continue as
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 72:17
There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 72:17
His name; the honour and renown of his eminent wisdom, and justice, and goodness; which agrees but very obscurely; and imperfectly to Solomon, who stained the glory of his reign by his prodigious luxury and oppression, and apostacy from God, into which he fell in the latter part of his days. Shall be continued; or, shall be propagated or transmitted to his children; which suits much better to Christ, from whom we are called Christians, than to Solomon. As long as the sun, Heb. before the sun; either, 1. Publicly, and in the face of the sun. Or, 2. Perpetually; as a constant and inseparable companion of the sun; as long as the sun itself shall continue. See Poole "". Be blessed in him; either, 1. As a pattern of blessedness. When any man shall wish well to a king, he shall say, The Lord make thee like Solomon.
See Poole "". Or rather, 2. As the cause of it, by and through his merits and mediation.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 72:17
Psalms 72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.Ver. 17. His name shall endure for ever] i.e. His kingdom, for it shall not be nomen inane. Other kingdoms have their times and their turns, their rise and their ruin; not so Christ’ s, and this is great comfort. His name shall be continued] Filiabitur nomine eius, it shall be begotten as one generation is begotten of another. Heb. his name shall be childed; that is, so continued as families are continued; there shall be a constant succession of Christ’ s name to the end of the world; there will still be Christians who are his children, Hebrews 2:13-14. The old Hebrews tell us, that Jinnon (the Hebrew word here used) is one of Christ’ s names. And men shall be blessed in him] Or, they shall bless themselves in him, viz. in Solomon, but especially in Christ, of whom Solomon was but a shadow. All nations shall call him blessed] If all generations shall call the mother of Christ blessed, Luke 1:48, how much more Christ himself!
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 72:17
(17) Shall be continued.—Rather, have issue. Literally, send out new shoots.As long as the sun.—See Note on Psalms 72:5. Shall be blessed in him.—Or, bless themselves in him. The meaning is clear, though the Hebrew is rather vague. The monarch will himself be a source of blessing to his people, who will never tire of blessing him. The psalmist’s prayer finds a genuine echo in the noble dedication of In Memoriam:“May you rule us long, And leave us rulers of your blood As noble, till the latest day! May children of our children say, ‘She wrought her people lasting good.’ ” For the doxology closing the second book, and for the note apparently appended by the collector of this book, “the prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended,” see General Introduction.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 72:17
Verse 17. His name shall endure for ever] Hitherto this has been literally fulfilled. Solomon is celebrated in the east and in the west, in the north and in the south; his writings still remain, and are received, both by Jews and by Gentiles, as a revelation from God; and it is not likely that the name of the author shall ever perish out of the records of the world. All nations shall call him blessed.] Because of the extraordinary manner in which he was favoured by the Most High. I well know that all these things are thought to belong properly to Jesus Christ; and, in reference to him, they are all true, and ten thousand times more than these. But I believe they are all properly applicable to Solomon: and it is the business of the commentator to find out the literal sense, and historical fact, and not seek for allegories and mysteries where there is no certain evidence of their presence. Where the sacred writers of the New Testament quote passages from the Old, and apply them to our Lord, we not only may but should follow them. And I am ready to grant there may be many other passages equally applicable to him with those they have quoted, which are not thus applied. Indeed, HE is the sum and substance of the whole Scripture. HE spoke by his Spirit in the prophets; and himself was the subject of their declarations.
See our Lord's saying, Lu 24:44.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 72:17
17. May his name endure for ever; As long as the sun doth shine may his name have Issue: May all nations bless themselves in him, (and) call him happy. The Psalmist prays that the king’s name may not perish like the name of the wicked (Job 18:19), but may always have issue, be perpetuated in his posterity as long as time lasts (cp. Psalms 72:5). The Ancient Versions however (LXX, Syr., Targ., Jer.) point to the reading yikkôn, shall be established, instead of yinnôn, shall have issue, a word which is found nowhere else. Cp. Psalms 89:37; 1 Kings 2:12; 1 Kings 2:45. The LXX reads, “All the families of the earth shall be blessed in him, all nations shall call him happy.” But each of these last three verses is a tristich, and the words “all families of the earth” are introduced from Genesis 12:3. May all nations bless themselves in him, invoking for themselves the blessings which he enjoys as the highest and best which they can imagine (cp. Genesis 48:20);—an allusion to the promises to Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:18; Genesis 26:4).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 72:17
His name shall endure for ever - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Shall be forever;” that is, “He” shall endure forever.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 72:17
17. His name shall endure—Shall live, as in Psalms 72:15. The verb takes the form of prayer, “may he live,” etc.
