Psalm 72

Fresco (1860) by Carl Gottfried Pfannschmidt showing king David with quotation of Psalm 72:11: "May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him." Saint Mary church. Barth (Western Pomerania).

Psalm 72 is the 72nd psalm from the Book of Psalms. Traditions hold that it was written by King Solomon, although most modern scholars dispute this[citation needed]. In the Greek Septuagint version of the bible, and in its Latin translation in the Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 71 in a slightly different numbering system.
