Study note
Setting — A communal doxology closing Psalm 72, the final prayer of David (v.20). The speaker is the assembly, not an individual, addressing God in liturgical response.
The words — kol (all) modifies "the earth," making the scope of God's glory universal rather than national.
The thread — Numbers 14:21 uses the identical phrase "the whole earth filled with the glory of the LORD." The "Amen and Amen" formula also closes Psalm 41:13.
Why it lands — It asks the reader to affirm a universal claim: God's glory is not bounded by Israel or by time but is meant to fill the entire earth. The double "Amen" is not ornament; it is a demand for agreement.
