Deuteronomy 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:17

For the Lord your God is God of gods
Of angels and civil magistrates, who are sometimes so called: these are his creatures, act for him and under him, and are accountable to him:

the Lord of lords;
of the kings and princes of the earth, who have their crowns, sceptres, and kingdoms from him, and hold them of him, by and under whom they reign and decree judgment, and who are subject to his authority and control:

a great God;
as the perfections of his nature, the works of his hands, the blessings of his providence and grace, and the extensiveness of his dominion in heaven, earth, and hell, show him to be:

a mighty and a terrible;
mighty and powerful to help, protect, and defend his people; terrible to his and their enemies, even to the kings of the earth:

which regardeth not persons;
but bestows his favours, whether in a way of providence or grace, according to his sovereign will and pleasure, without regard to the works and merits of men, their characters or circumstances:

nor taketh reward;
or bribes, to avert threatened and deserved judgments; see ( Job 36:18 Job 36:19 ) .

Deuteronomy 10:17 In-Context

15 But the LORD loved your people very much long ago. You are their children. And he chose you above all of the other nations. His love and his promise remain with you to this very day.
16 So don't let your hearts be stubborn anymore. Obey the Lord.
17 The LORD your God is the greatest God of all. He is the greatest Lord of all. He is the great God. He is mighty and wonderful. He treats everyone the same. He doesn't accept any money from those who want special favors.
18 He stands up for widows and for children whose fathers have died. He loves outsiders. He gives them food and clothes.
19 So you also must love outsiders. Remember that you yourselves were outsiders in Egypt.
