'Earth' in the Bible

The kings of the earth take their stand;And the rulers take counsel togetherAgainst the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

‘Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance,And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

Now therefore, O kings, act wisely;Be instructed and take warning, O leaders (judges, rulers) of the earth.

O Lord, our Lord,How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

O Lord, our Lord,How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Then the earth shook and quaked,The foundations of the mountains trembled;They were shaken because He was indignant and angry.

Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,And their descendants from the sons of men.

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,And all the families of the nations will bow down and worship before You,

All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship;All those who go down to the dust (the dead) will bow before Him,Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it,The world, and those who dwell in it.

He loves righteousness and justice;The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the Lord.

Let all the earth fear and worship the Lord;Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

From His dwelling place He looks closelyUpon all the inhabitants of the earth—

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

For those who do evil will be cut off,But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

But the humble will [at last] inherit the landAnd will delight themselves in abundant prosperity and peace.

For those blessed by God will [at last] inherit the land,But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should changeAnd though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas,

The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved;He raised His voice, the earth melted.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth.

He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two;He burns the chariots with fire.
