Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

shall worship before You.

and He rules over the nations. Psalm 46:9-10

a strong tower against the enemy.
Psalm 65:5-8
By awesome deeds You answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas;
the One who by His strength established the mountains,
being girded with might;
who stills the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples,
so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at Your signs.
You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

May He have dominion from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth!
May desert tribes bow down before Him
and His enemies lick the dust!
May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands
render Him tribute;
may the kings of Sheba and Seba
bring gifts!
May all kings fall down before Him,
all nations serve Him!

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for He has done marvelous things!
His right hand and His holy arm
have worked salvation for Him.

He has remembered His steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord , all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

with the lyre and the sound of melody!
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
of glory to the Righteous One.

The Lord has bared His holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God.
Depart, depart, go out from there;
touch no unclean thing;
go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves,
you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
For you shall not go out in haste,
and you shall not go in flight,
for the Lord will go before you,
and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Jeremiah 16:19-21
O Lord , my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge in the day of trouble,
to You shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
“Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies,
worthless things in which there is no profit.
Can man make for himself gods?
Such are not gods!”

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one Who is to be ruler in Israel,
Whose origin is from of old,
from ancient days.
Therefore He shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of His brothers shall return
to the people of Israel.
And He shall stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now He shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
And He shall be their peace.
