SEV Biblia, Chapter 72:3
Los montes llevarán paz al pueblo, y los collados, por justicia.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 71:3
Verse 3. The mountains shall bring peace ] Perhaps mountains and hills are here taken in their figurative sense, to signify princes and petty governors; and it is a prediction that all governors of provinces and magistrates should administer equal justice in their several departments and jurisdictions; so that universal peace should be preserved, and the people be every where prosperous; for µwl shalom signifies both peace and prosperity, for without the former the latter never existed. But what is the meaning of "the little hills by righteousness?" Why, it has no meaning: and it has none, because it is a false division of the verse. The word hqdxb bitsedakah, in righteousness, at the end of verse 3, should begin verse 4, and then the sense will be plain. Ver. 3: "The mountains and the hills shall bring prosperity to the people." Ver. i5: "In righteousness he shall judge the poor of the people: he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor." The effects, mentioned in the fourth verse, show that King Solomon should act according to the law of his God; and that all officers, magistrates, and governors, should minister equal rights through every part of the land. The Septuagint has the true division: analabetw ta orh eirhnhn tw law sou, kai oi bounoi en dikaiosunh krinei touv ptwcouv tou laou, k. t. l. "The mountains shall bring peace to thy people, and the hills: In righteousness shall he judge the poor of thy people," &c.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 2-17 - This is a prophecy of the kingdom of Christ; many passages in it cannot be applied to the reign of Solomon. There were righteousness and peac at first in the administration of his government; but, before the en of his reign, there were troubles and unrighteousness. The kingdom her spoken of is to last as long as the sun, but Solomon's was soon at a end. Even the Jewish expositors understood it of the kingdom of the Messiah. Observe many great and precious promises here made, which wer to have full accomplishment only in the kingdom of Christ. As far a his kingdom is set up, discord and contentions cease, in families churches, and nations. The law of Christ, written in the heart disposes men to be honest and just, and to render to all their due; i likewise disposes men to live in love, and so produces abundance of peace. Holiness and love shall be lasting in Christ's kingdom. Throug all the changes of the world, and all the changes of life, Christ' kingdom will support itself. And he shall, by the graces and comfort of his Spirit, come down like rain upon the mown grass; not on that cu down, but that which is left growing, that it may spring again. Hi gospel has been, or shall be, preached to all nations. Though he need not the services of any, yet he must be served with the best. Thos that have the wealth of this world, must serve Christ with it, do goo with it. Prayer shall be made through him, or for his sake; whatever we ask of the Father, should be in his name. Praises shall be offered to him: we are under the highest obligations to him. Christ only shall be feared throughout all generations. To the end of time, and to eternity his name shall be praised. All nations shall call HIM blessed.
