'Nations' in the Bible

Then the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him on all the nations.

Tell of His glory among the nations,His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”

Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation,And gather us and deliver us from the nations,To give thanks to Your holy name,And glory in Your praise.”

And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt?

King David also dedicated these to the Lord with the silver and the gold which he had carried away from all the nations: from Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, and from Amalek.
