Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him that has no helper. That is what we look for as the true recognition of religion.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: He shall have the best the world can find willingly given to him. I am sure that we who know his love think that we have nothing good enough for him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. This is the end of the second great division of the Book of the Psalms; it is therefore most appropriately closed with this verse: “The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.” But I think that David, when he had reached this point, felt that he could not ask for anything more than he had...
