Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 72:8

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

Either, 1. From the Dead Sea, or the Lake of Sodom, or from the Red Sea, to the Midland Sea. For so far did Solomon's Dominion extend: but so did David's also; and therefore in that Respect Solomon hath not that Pre-eminence, which this Promise plainly seems to give him above his Predecessours. Or, 2. More generally from one Sea to another, or in all the parts of the habitable World. So it was truly and fully accomplished in Christ, and in him onely.

To wit, Enphrates: which was the Eastern border of the Kingdom of Canaan allotted by God, Exod. 23. 31. Numb. [illegible: 1+ letters]4. 3. but enjoyed onely by David and Solomon, and afterwards by Christ. Of whose Kingdom this may be here mentioned, as one of the Borders; Partly, because the Kingdom of Christ is here described under the Type, and shadow of Solomon's Kingdom, whose bound this was: and Partly, because though Christ's Kingdom did for a time extend it self beyond Euphrates, yet the chief part, and almost the whole Body of it, both did and doth lye on this side of it: and things do generally receive their Denomination from the greatest part.

Either, 1. Of the Land of Canaan. Or, 2. Of the World.
