Commentary on Deuteronomy 4:31

Theological / Devotional

Merciful. The root from which the adjective thus translated comes means “to love,” “to be inclined toward affection,” and in the intensive form, “to have compassion.” In the 13 times this adjective is used in the OT, it is always applied to God.

He will not forsake thee. Literally, “He will not let thee sink down.” The verb is often translated, “to become feeble,” “to become weakened,” “to faint.”
