Psalms 72:9

9-11. The extent of the conquests.

They that dwell in the wilderness—the wild, untutored tribes of deserts.

bow . . . dust—in profound submission. The remotest and wealthiest nations shall acknowledge Him (compare Ps 45:12).

Isaiah 49:23

23. lick . . . dust—that is, kiss thy feet in token of humble submission.

for they . . . not . . . ashamed . . . wait for me—The restoration of Israel shall be in answer to their prayerful waiting on the Lord (Isa 30:18, 19; Ps 102:16, 17; Zec 12:10; 14:3).
