"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth:" — Deuteronomy 28:1 (ASV)

Will set thee on high. —Literally, will make you Most High, using a name of God, as in Deuteronomy 26:19.

Compare what is said of Jerusalem: She (Jerusalem) shall be called Jehovah-Tzidkenu (Jeremiah 33:16), and the name of the city from that day shall be Jehovah-Shammah (Ezekiel 48:35), and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God (Revelation 3:12), and His Name shall be in their foreheads (Revelation 22:4).
