Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
The extent of the conquests. They that dwell in the wilderness--the wild, untutored tribes of deserts. bow . . . dust--in profound submission. The remotest and wealthiest nations shall acknowledge Him (compare Psa 45:12).
John Gill Bible Commentary
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,.... The same is said of the Messiah in Zac 9:10; where he is manifestly spoken of as here, and regards the extent of his dominion; not over the land of Israel only, as some think; but over the Gentile world, through the preaching of the Gospel in the several parts of it; and especially as it will be in the latter day, when the kingdoms of this world will be his, and he will be King over all the earth; see Rev 17:14; which cannot agree with Solomon, whose dominion reached only to the land of the Philistines, to the border of Egypt, Kg1 4:21; but Christ's dominion will be, as it follows, and from the river unto the ends of the earth; which, as Kimchi owns, is clear, if applied to the Messiah, since his government shall be over all the world. The note of Aben Ezra on the text is worthy of regard. "If this is said concerning Solomon, the meaning is, from the Red sea to the sea of the Philistines; and from the river, this is Euphrates; and the ends of the earth mean the wilderness; (see Exo 23:31); and, lo, mention is made of the length and breadth of the land of Israel: and if of the Messiah, the sense is, from the south sea, which is called the Idumean sea, to the northern sea, which is the sea of the ocean; and from the river, the river that goes out of Eden at the beginning of the east, unto the ends of the earth, which is at the end of the west;'' though rather the sense is, from the Indian ocean, the great sea, unto the Mediterranean sea; and from the river Euphrates to the end of the world. This text is applied to the Messiah by many Jewish writers (z), ancient and modern. (z) Raya Mehimna in Zohar in Exod. fol. 49. 4. Bemidbar Rabba, s. 13. fol. 209. 4. Baal Hatturim in Num. fol. 178. 4. R. Nachman. Disput. cum fratre Paulo, p. 41.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
72:8-11 The anointed king will rule over the whole world. Even hostile nations will submit to him. In the ancient Near East, bearing gifts to the king acknowledged his success and his reputation (see 1 Kgs 10). 72:8-9 from sea to sea: This phrase represents the whole world. • Solomon’s kingdom extended from the Euphrates River in the east to the Philistine territory in the west (1 Kgs 4:21; see Pss 80:8-11; 89:19-25), where the Mediterranean Sea appeared to be at the ends of the earth (see 2:8). Everyone will bow before this king, including the desert nomads (72:9), his enemies, and all the kings of the world (see Mic 7:17).
Psalms 72:8
Endow the King with Your Justice
7May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more. 8May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth. 9May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.

By Leonard Ravenhill16K27:58RevivalGEN 17:3GEN 17:17EXO 13:21EXO 40:38PSA 72:8ISA 6:6JHN 1:29In this sermon, the speaker reflects on a recent earthquake in Houston and connects it to the idea of the whole creation groaning, expressing dissatisfaction and a limit to materialism.
