For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [to be] a people unto thee for ever, etc.] So long as they were obedient to him, and observed his laws and statutes, and abode by his worship and ordinances, otherwise he would write a “loammi” on them, as he has, (see <280109>Hosea 1:9); and thou, Lord, art become their God; their covenant God, they having avouched him to be their God, and he having avouched them to be his people, (<052617>Deuteronomy 26:17,18).
