What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Oecumenius
And it says the nations will walk by its light. Not only the nations, but also the saints from Israel who have believed. But since those from the Gentiles are more numerous, it indicated these as well as those from the greater number. And the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor into it. He calls all the saints kings of the earth, concerning whom it is written in the passage appointing "the heavenly kings over it, they shall be whitened in Selmon," (Ps. 67:15) as was said before. …
Western Saints
Bede
And the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor into it. Here he speaks of spiritual kings, who bring all the riches of their virtues to the Church with praise.
Alcuin of York
