Deuteronomy 33:26 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

It is remarkable, how holy men of old, when under the SPIRIT of the LORD, break out in the midst of their office of blessing his people, with blessing the GOD of his people. Thus dying Jacob, in the midst of blessing his children, cries out, I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. Genesis 49:18. And here Moses breaks out in a commendation of the GOD of Jeshurun. Reader! observe with me how very sweet and striking this, and the following three last verses of Moses are, in praising the GOD of Israel, and in commending the Israel of GOD. They are the last word's of this great man, and the last words of great men, are always particularly to be attended to. In this verse, he pours out his praises upon Israel's GOD. There is none like him, saith Moses. And he instanceth this, in those two grand distinctions of character, his sovereignty, and his glory. How sweet, how very sweet and dear are those perfections to the contemplation of his people. By the one, they are secured in his power, and by the other, in his love. Oh! that you and I, Reader, may know our covenant GOD in CHRIST, in both.
