Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments ... In the covenant into which God entered with Israel, He promised to bestow upon them a variety of blessings so long as, they continued obedient to Him as their heavenly King, and pledged His veracity that His infinite perfections would be exerted for this purpose, as well as for delivering them from every evil to which as a people they would be exposed. That people accordingly were truly happy as a nation, and found every promise which the faithful God made to them amply fulfilled, so long as they adhered to that obedience which was required of them. (See a beautiful illustration of this in Psalms 144:12-15).
