Beyond Solomon to Christ
While this psalm was a prayer for King Solomon, commentators like Matthew Henry and John Calvin emphasize its ultimate fulfillment is in Jesus Christ. Solomon's reign had peace and justice, but it was temporary and flawed. The promise of a kingdom that lasts "till the moon be no more" points directly to the eternal, perfect, and spiritual reign of the Messiah over His Church.
