INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 72 [A Psalm] for Solomon. The title of this psalm is by some rendered, "a psalm of Solomon" (h); as a psalm לדוד, "for David", is often rendered "a psalm of David"; and so make Solomon to be the writer of it: to which the Targum inclines, which paraphrases it, "by the hand of Solomon, said in prophecy.''

And he shall live,.... Either the poor and needy man, saved and redeemed by Christ; he, though dead in trespasses and sins, shall live spiritually, be quickened together with Christ, and by his Spirit, and live a life of faith and holiness; and though dead by law, yet, through the righteousness of Christ, shall have the justification of life, and live in the sight of God; and so shall live...
Matthew Henry
The foregoing psalm was penned by David when he was old, and, it should seem, so was this too; for Solomon was now standing fair for the crown; that was his prayer for himself, this for his son and successor, and with these two the prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended, as we find in the close of this psalm.

And he shall live, With all our hearts we cry, “Long live the King!” And our King shall live forever; to him alone of all kings may it be truly said, “O King, live forever!” “He shall live,” —
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. One of the marks of sovereignty is the king’s visage upon the coinage of the realm, and the use of his name in public prayer; and Christ claims this homage of all his followers: “Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, 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 on the earth- Only a handful! O ye birds of the air, how ye long to eat it all up! O ye thorns, how soon would ye choke...
