Yes.  "Malei" is a verb.  "Melo" is a noun.  The pasuk is saying that
His Honour is th whole earth's fill (that-which-fills-it).  As in
"melo ha`omer mimenu", or "melo chofneichem", or "hayam umlo'o".

zev at sero.name          The myrtle and the palm and the citron for a week
                And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm doing that
                I'll say "It's a Jewish thing; if you have a few minutes
                I'll explain it to you".
