For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
Deuteronomy 10:17 — KJV
God of gods. Note the exhortation of the psalmist (Psalm 136:2, 3), and the words of the king of Babylon to Daniel (Daniel 2:47). When Christ removes His priestly attire and assumes His royal garments, at the close of probation, He assumes a similar title, “King of kings, and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16, cf. 17:14).
A great God. Nehemiah uses similar language (Nehemiah 9:32).
Mighty. From a word denoting a great hero, a mighty warrior (Judges 11:1). It is also applied to the lion as the mightiest among beasts (Proverbs 30:30). The superlative used in Deuteronomy 10:14 of God’s dwelling place is similar to this expression for God.
Regardeth not persons. This statement reads, literally, “not does he lift up faces, and not does he take a bribe.” Jehovah will always deal justly. Sacrifices and gifts do not influence Him to condone willful wickedness (see Exodus 23:8; Leviticus 19:15). Note the words of the apostle Peter in his contact with Cornelius, who, like Peter, had received a vision (Acts 10:34,35).
