6Hee shall come downe like raine vpon the mowen grasse: as showres that water the earth. 7In his dayes shall the righteous flourish: and abundance of peace so long as the Moone endureth. 8He shall haue dominion also from sea to sea, and from the riuer, vnto the ends of the earth. 9They that dwell in the wildernesse shall bowe before him: and his enemies shall licke the dust. 10The kings of Tarshish and of the Isles shall bring presents: the Kings of Sheba and Seba shalloffer gifts.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 72:8
72:8 Dominion - From one sea to another, or in all the parts of the habitable world. This was accomplished in Christ, and in him only. The river - Euphrates: which was the eastern border of the kingdom of Canaan, allotted by God, but enjoyed only by David, Solomon, and Christ. Of whose kingdom this may be mentioned, as one of the borders; because the kingdom of Christ is described under the shadow of Solomon's kingdom.
