psalms 72:8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

psalms 72:8 May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.

8. The foreign nations mentioned (Ps 72:9, 10) could not be included in the limits, if designed to indicate the boundaries of Solomon's kingdom. The terms, though derived from those used (Ex 23:31; De 11:24) to denote the possessions of Israel, must have a wider sense. Thus, "ends of the earth" is never used of Palestine, but always of the world (compare Margin).

psalms 72:8 May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the River to the ends of the earth.
