**Give the king**
The Psalm as a whole forms a complete vision of Messiah's kingdom so far as the O.T. revelation extended. All David's prayers will find their fruition in the kingdom ([Psalms 72:20](../../../kjv/psalms/72/20)); [2 Samuel 23:1-4](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/1-4).
Verse 1 refers to the investiture of the King's Son with the kingdom, of which investiture the formal description is given in [Daniel 7:13](../../../kjv/daniel/7/13); [Daniel 7:14](../../../kjv/daniel/7/14); [Revelation 5:5-10](../../../kjv/revelation/5/5-10); [Psalms 72:2-7](../../../kjv/psalms/72/2-7); [Psalms 72:12-14](../../../kjv/psalms/72/12-14) give the character of the kingdom. (Cf) [Isaiah 11:3-9](../../../kjv/isaiah/11/3-9).
The emphatic word is righteousness. The sermon on the Mount describes the kingdom of righteousness. Verses 8-11 speak of the universality of the kingdom. Verse 16 hints at the means by which universal blessing is to be brought in. Converted Israel will be the "handful of corn" [Amos 9:9](../../../kjv/amos/9/9) as the King Himself in death and resurrection was the single grain, the "corn of wheat" [John 12:24](../../../kjv/john/12/24) "To the Jew first" is the order alike of Church and kingdom. ; [Romans 1:16](../../../kjv/romans/1/16); [Acts 13:46](../../../kjv/acts/13/46); [Acts 15:16](../../../kjv/acts/15/16); [Acts 15:17](../../../kjv/acts/15/17). It is through restored Israel that the kingdom is to be extended over the earth. [Zechariah 8:13](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/13); [Zechariah 8:20-23](../../../kjv/zechariah/8/20-23).
