26 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies. 27 A habitation 'is' the eternal God, And beneath 'are' arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, 'Destroy!' 28 And Israel doth tabernacle 'in' confidence alone; The eye of Jacob 'is' unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew. 29 O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who 'is' the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:26-29
Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:26-29
(Read Deuteronomy 33:26-29)
None had such a God as Israel. There is no people like the Israel of God. What is here said of the church of Israel is to be applied to the spiritual church. Never were people so well seated and sheltered. Those who make God their habitation, shall have all the comforts and benefits of a habitation in him, Romans 16:20. May God help us to seek and to set our affections on the things above; and to turn our souls from earthly perishing objects; that we may not have our lot with Israel's foes in the regions of darkness and despair, but with the Israel of God, in the realms of love and eternal happiness.
