Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - He hath not dealt so with any nation. Though the Word of God, to a certain extent, "lighteth every man that cometh into the world" (John 1:9), yet this light of nature is not to be compared to the revelation vouchsafed to Israel. Israel was God's "peculiar people," and had peculiar privileges, which involved special responsibilities. And as for his judgments, they (i.e. the nations) have not known them (comp. Amos 3:2, "You only have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I visit upon you all your iniquities"). Praise ye the Lord (comp. ver. 1).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Any nation.--This boast in Israel's peculiar and exclusive privilege may be compared with Deuteronomy 4:7; Deuteronomy 32:32-41.Judgments.--Here plainly not manifestations of wrath; but, as so frequently in Psalms 119, the display of righteousness towards Israel.
