Thou [art] the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
Ver. 7. Thou art the Lord the God] Heb. That Lord, with an emphasis, with an accent; and besides thee there is none other. See Nehemiah 9:6. This is proved by his free favours to Israel, and patient bearing with their evil manners in the wilderness; there being not any God like unto our God, for pardoning of sin, and passing by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage, Micah 7:18 .
Who didst choose Abram] God first chose him for his love, and then loved him for his choice.
And broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees] Pulling him as a brand out of that fire, where, till then, he had lived (and might else have died) an idolater, Joshua 24:2 .
And gavest him the name of Abraham] See Trapp on " Gen 17:5 "
