Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:29
Thy people, whom thou hast chosen to thyself out of all mankind, and publicly owned them for thine, and hast purchased and redeemed them from the Egyptians.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:29
Deuteronomy 9:29 Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.Ver. 29. Yet they are thy people.] In praying to God we must "fill our mouths with arguments," and urge them lustily.
