Psalms 72:11

9 ^aThose who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him,
^bAnd His enemies will lick the dust.

10 ^aThe kings of Tarshish and of the isles
Will bring presents;
The kings of Sheba and Seba
Will offer gifts.

11 ^aYes, all kings shall fall down before Him;
All nations shall serve Him.

12 For He ^awill deliver the needy when he cries,
The poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 He will spare the poor and needy,
And will save the souls of the needy.

14 He will redeem their life from oppression and violence;
And ^aprecious shall be their blood in His sight.

15 And He shall live;
And the gold of ^aSheba will be given to Him;
Prayer also will be made for Him continually,
And daily He shall be praised.

16 There will be an abundance of grain in the earth,
On the top of the mountains;
Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon;
^aAnd those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

17 ^aHis name shall endure forever;
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And ^bmen shall be blessed in Him;
^cAll nations shall call Him blessed.

18 ^aBlessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,
^bWho only does wondrous things!

19 And ^ablessed be His glorious name forever!
^bAnd let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 72:11

All kings shall fall down before - They shall reverence him on account of his great wisdom, riches, etc.

All nations shalt serve him - All the surrounding nations. This and the preceding verses are fully explained by I Kings 10:23-25 : "King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought unto Solomon to hear his wisdom. And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments and armor, and spices, horses and mules a rate year by year." If we take these expressions to mean literally all the habitable globe, then they cannot be applied to Solomon; but if we take them as they are most evidently used by the sacred writer, then they are literally true. When all the earth shall be brought to receive the Gospel of Christ, then they may be applied to him.
