Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 72:19
And blessed [be] his glorious name forever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
19. his glorious name ] Lit. the name of his glory, as in Neh 9:5. Cp the similar phrase in 1Ch 29:13; Isa 63:14. The Name of His glory is the compendious expression for the Majesty of His Being, as it is revealed to men.
and let the whole earth &c.] From Num 14:21.
Amen, and Amen ] So it is: the response of the congregation, affirming the ascription of praise on their own behalf (Psa 106:48; Neh 8:6).

And blessed be his glorious name for ever – The name by which he is known – referring perhaps particularly to his name Yahweh. Still the prayer would be, that all the names by which he is known, all by which he has revealed himself, might be regarded with veneration always and everywhere.
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory – With the knowledge of himself; with the manifestations of his presence; with the influences of his religion. Compare Num 14:21. This prayer was especially appropriate at the close of a psalm designed to celebrate the glorious reign of the Messiah. Under that reign the earth will be, in fact, filled with the glory of God; the world will be a world of glory. Assuredly all who love God, and who love mankind, all who desire that God may be honored, and that the world may be blessed and happy, will unite in this fervent prayer, and reecho the hearty Amen and amen of the psalmist.
Amen, and amen – So be it. Let this occur. Let this time come. The expression is doubled to denote intensity of feeling. It is the going out of a heart full of desire that this might be so.

Let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.
Davids dying prayer
There was a time when this prayer was unnecessary, for the whole earth was filled with His glory. And, in a sense, it is still unnecessary. For the whole earth is filled with Gods glory. All Thy works praise Thee, O God. But David intended this prayer in another sense. He longed that men who have revolted from God should all return to Him. But–
I. Let us explain the prayer. It is a large and massive one. It includes the whole earth. It seeks–
1. That in every country;
2. In every family.
3. In every individual heart, the true religion of God may be made known.
II. Let us stir up our hearts thus to pray. I would have you all, like the Crusaders, because Deus vult, rush forward to this great battle of the Lord. For–
1. Think of the Majesty of God.
2. His love on Calvary.
3. Of the needs of men, how great, how pressing.
III. Counsels in the pursuit of this object.
1. You must in your own life remove all hindrances to it.
2. You must forsake all sin. God will help you. Will not some volunteer in this service? (C. H. Spurgeon.)

Verse 19. Let the whole earth be filled with his glory] Let the Gospel-the light, the Spirit, and power of Christ, fill the world.
Amen] So let it be.
And Amen.] So it shall be. Hallelujah!

Heb. the whole earth shall be filled with his glory. For this may be either a prayer for or a prophecy of the spreading of the true religion in the Gentile world; which evidently relates to Christ and his kingdom.

And blessed be his glorious name for ever,…. Every name of Christ is glorious in itself, and precious to his people; “like ointment poured forth”, as his name Messiah, to which the allusion is in So 1:3; his name Immanuel, God with us, Isa 7:14; Jehovah our righteousness, Jer 23:6; Jesus a Saviour; as well as what belongs to his royal dignity, King of kings, and Lord of lords; a name above every name that is named in this world, or that to come;
and let the whole earth [be] filled with his glory; as it will be, when his kingdom shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth; when the little stone cut out without hands shall become a great mountain, and fill the whole earth; when the Gospel shall be spread all over the world; and the earth be filled with the knowledge of Christ, by means of it, as the waters cover the sea; and when all nations shall come and worship before him.
Amen, and Amen; which word added is expressive of the desires of the psalmist, that all that he had said might come to pass; and of his faith, that so it would be: and it is repeated to show the vehemence of his desires, and the strength of his faith.

Psa 72:19 And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
Ver. 19. And blessed be his glorious name ] Blessed and blessed; so unsatisfiable and unweariable are the saints in blessing God for a Christ; and surely God expecteth that with one mind and one mouth this should be done by all his, at all times, Rom 15:6 , and that they should say to Christ, as Jdg 8:22 . Rule thou over us, for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
Amen, and Amen
