Psalm 117: "1 Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! 2 For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!"
Isaiah 45:22-23: "22 'Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: "To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance."'"
Philippians 2:5-11: "5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Psalm 117 seems to appear throughout the hymn in the calls to praise God, but there are other verses in the Psalms to which the hymn text bears a stronger resemblance. The lines "From all that dwell below the skies / Let the Creator's praise arise" in the first verse are similar to Psalm 150:6 ("Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!"), and the lines "Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore / Till suns shall rise and set no more" in the second verse use the same sort of imagery that's in Psalm 113:3 ("From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!").
"Every tongue shall swear allegiance" from Isaiah 45:23 and "every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" from Philippians 2:11 are combined in the lines "Let the Redeemer's name be sung / Through ev'ry land by ev'ry tongue" in the first verse.
