For his power over the elements 19. And for his ordinances in the church He has done this for no other nation; This phrase highlights the unique relationship between God and Israel. In the Old Testament, Israel is often depicted as God's chosen people, set apart from other nations (Deuteronomy 7:6). This exclusivity is seen in the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, which was a covenant specifically with Israel (Exodus 19:5-6). The phrase underscores the special privileges and responsibilities that came with being God's chosen nation, including receiving His laws, guidance, and protection. Historically, Israel's distinct identity was maintained through practices such as circumcision, dietary laws, and Sabbath observance, which set them apart from surrounding nations. they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah! Persons / Places / Events 1. God (Yahweh)The central figure in this verse, God is the one who has given His laws and judgments to Israel, setting them apart from other nations. 2.

Other Nations Refers to the Gentile nations who have not received God's laws and judgments in the same way Israel has. 4.

Teaching Points The Privilege of RevelationIsrael's receipt of God's laws is a profound privilege, underscoring the importance of valuing and adhering to divine revelation. God's Sovereign Choice God's selection of Israel demonstrates His sovereign will and purpose, reminding us of His authority and the grace extended to His people. Praise as a Response The call to "Hallelujah" encourages believers to respond to God's unique gifts and revelations with praise and worship. Understanding God's Judgments While Israel was uniquely chosen, believers today are called to seek understanding of God's judgments through Scripture and the Holy Spirit. Inclusivity of the Gospel Although the verse highlights Israel's unique position, the New Testament reveals the inclusivity of the Gospel, inviting all nations to know God through Christ.(20) Any nation.--This boast in Israel's peculiar and exclusive privilege may be compared with Deuteronomy 4:7; Deuteronomy 32:32-41. Judgments.--Here plainly not manifestations of wrath; but, as so frequently in Psalms 119, the display of righteousness towards Israel. Verse 20. - He hath not dealt so with any nation. Though the Word of God, to a certain extent, "lighteth every man that cometh into the world" (John 1:9), yet this light of nature is not to be compared to the revelation vouchsafed to Israel. Israel was God's "peculiar people," and had peculiar privileges, which involved special responsibilities. And as for his judgments, they (i.e. the nations) have not known them (comp. Amos 3:2, "You only have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities"). Praise ye the Lord (comp. ver. 1).
