He is your praise
In this phrase, the Hebrew word for "praise" is "tehillah," which signifies a song of praise or a hymn. This word emphasizes that God Himself is the source and object of Israel's worship. In the historical context of Deuteronomy, Moses is reminding the Israelites that their identity and purpose are rooted in their relationship with God. He is not just a deity to be acknowledged but the very reason for their songs and expressions of worship. This calls believers to recognize that God should be the central focus of their adoration and gratitude, as He is the one who has delivered and sustained them.

and He is your God
The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. This term underscores the sovereignty and supreme authority of God over Israel. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses is reiterating the covenant relationship between God and His people. This relationship is not just a matter of ritual or tradition but a profound, personal connection with the Creator. For conservative Christians, this emphasizes the importance of acknowledging God's lordship in every aspect of life, recognizing His authority and submitting to His will.

who has done for you these great and awesome wonders
The phrase "great and awesome wonders" refers to the miraculous acts God performed on behalf of the Israelites, such as the plagues in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna in the wilderness. The Hebrew word for "wonders" is "nora," which conveys a sense of awe and reverence. These acts were not just historical events but divine interventions that demonstrated God's power and faithfulness. For believers today, this serves as a reminder of God's ability to intervene in human history and in personal lives, performing acts that inspire awe and deepen faith.

your eyes have seen
This phrase emphasizes the firsthand experience of the Israelites with God's miraculous deeds. The Hebrew word for "seen" is "ra'ah," which means to perceive or understand. It highlights the importance of personal experience in the journey of faith. The Israelites were not relying on secondhand accounts but had witnessed God's power directly. For contemporary Christians, this underscores the value of personal encounters with God and the importance of witnessing His work in one's own life, which strengthens faith and conviction.

Verse 21. - He is thy praise, i.e. the Object of thy praise; the Being who had given them abundant cause to praise him, and whom they were bound continually to praise (cf. Psalm 22:3; Psalm 109:1; Jeremiah 17:14). Terrible things; acts which by their greatness and awful effects inspired fear and dread into those by whom they were witnessed. For thee; literally, with thee, i.e. either in thy view or towards thee, for thy behoof (comp. Deuteronomy 1:30; 1 Samuel 12:7; Zechariah 7:9; and such an expression as "deal kindly [literally, do Madness] with," Genesis 24:49, etc.).
