And blessed be his glorious name for ever,.... Every name of Christ is glorious in itself, and precious to his people; "like ointment poured forth", as his name Messiah, to which the allusion is in Sol 1:3; his name Immanuel, God with us, Isa 7:14; Jehovah our righteousness, Jer 23:6; Jesus a Saviour; as well as what belongs to his royal dignity, King of kings, and Lord of lords; a name above every name that is named in this world, or that to come;
and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; as it will be, when his kingdom shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth; when the little stone cut out without hands shall become a great mountain, and fill the whole earth; when the Gospel shall be spread all over the world; and the earth be filled with the knowledge of Christ, by means of it, as the waters cover the sea; and when all nations shall come and worship before him.

Albert Barnes 1834 · Public Domain And blessed be his glorious name for ever -…
And blessed be his glorious name for ever - The name by which he is known - referring perhaps particularly to his name “Yahweh.” Still the prayer would be, that all the names by which he is known, all by which he has revealed himself, might be regarded with veneration always and everywhere.
And let the whole earth be filled with his glory - With the knowledge of himself; with the manifestations of his presence; with the influences of his religion. Compare Num 14:21. This prayer was especially appropriate at the close of a psalm designed to celebrate the glorious reign of the Messiah. Under that reign the earth will be, in fact, filled with the glory of God; the world will be a world of glory. Assuredly all who love God, and who love mankind, all who desire that God may be honored, and that the world may be blessed and happy, will unite in this fervent prayer, and reecho the hearty “Amen and amen” of the psalmist.

Davids dying prayer
There was a time when this prayer was unnecessary, for the whole earth was filled with His glory. And, in a sense, it is still unnecessary. For the whole earth is filled with Gods glory. All Thy works praise Thee, O God. But David intended this prayer in another sense. He longed that men who have revolted from God should all return to Him. But--
I. Let us explain the prayer. It is a large and massive one. It includes the whole earth. It seeks--
1. That in every country;
2. In every family.
3. In every individual heart, the true religion of God may be made known.
II. Let us stir up our hearts thus to pray. I would have you all, like the Crusaders, because Deus vult, rush forward to this great battle of the Lord. For--
1. Think of the Majesty of God.
2. His love on Calvary.
3. Of the needs of men, how great, how pressing.
III. Counsels in the pursuit of this object.
1. You must in your own life remove all hindrances to it.
2. You must forsake all sin. God will help you. Will not some volunteer in this service? (C. H. Spurgeon.)
