Psalm 22:27
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
25My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
29All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
Notice
The repeated “All” stretches the horizon beyond the gathered worshipers to the earth’s farthest reaches, where nations will turn to YHWH.
