Psalms 72

A prayer for the king, 'of Solomon': may he judge the poor with justice, may his reign be like rain on mown grass, may kings from Tarshish and Sheba bring gifts and all nations call him blessed. It closes the second book of the Psalms.

    That they were kings comes from later reading of Psalm 72 and Isaiah 60; Tertullian already says the East held magi to be “almost kings”.
