Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 72:2

"He will judge thy people with righteousness, And thy poor with justice." — Psalms 72:2 (ASV)

He shall judge thy people with righteousness - On this verse see the notes at (Isaiah 11:3–4). The fact that this so entirely accords with the description in (Isaiah 11:1 and following), which undoubtedly refers to the Messiah, has been alluded to above as confirming the opinion that the psalm has a similar reference.
