Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Radak
Ask of Me: – And He says to me, Ask of Me. and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance: – as He said to him, “And I have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth” (2 Sam. 7:9); and it says (ibid. 8:14), “And all the Edomites became servants to David”; and it says (ibid. 8:6), “And the Syrians became servants to David”; and it says (1 Chron. 19:17), “and the fame of David went out into all the lands, and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all the nations.” And this is what he means when he says, “I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance.” And the uttermost parts (אפסי) of the earth for thy possession: – They are the ends (קצות) of the earth, and (the Hebrew words) אפס and קץ are approximate in meaning.
