Answered in 2 sources
Psalm 72:19 expresses a prayer for the earth to be filled with God's glory, emphasizing His sovereignty as moral governor.
Psalm 72:19 captures David's earnest prayer that 'Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen.' This prayer reflects a deep desire for God’s glory to be recognized not just as Creator, but especially as a moral governor and ruler, acknowledging the revolting nature of sin that has marred creation. The request is both a hope for restoration and a recognition of the beauty of God's original creation. While it's true that God's works already sing praise to Him, the prayer highlights the need for humanity to recognize and submit to His glory, especially after our rebellion against Him.
