Deuteronomy 3:24

O Lord God Heb. my Lord Jehovah.

thou hast begun But not fulfilled in my sight! A pathetic emphasis. Moses prayed to see with his own eyes the completion of the great Providence carried so far at his hands. This temper is characteristic of all Deuteronomy: the passion to experience the full-rounded Providence of God in this life, absolutely no hope of another! As time went on a nobler trust was born. The servant of Jehovah cut off from the land of the living, yet sees of the travail of his soul and is satisfied(Isaiah 53:11); and Jesus becoming obedient even unto death(Philippians 2:8), for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame(Hebrews 12:2). Let this cup pass from me … nevertheless … thy will be done.

thy greatness Deuteronomy 5:24; Deuteronomy 9:26; Deuteronomy 11:2; and thy strong hand, see Deuteronomy 4:34.
