Deuteronomy 10:17
For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: (Deuteronomy 10:17)
God of gods.
 Note the exhortation of the psalmist (Ps. 136:2, 3), and the words of the king of Babylon to Daniel (Dan. 2:47). When Christ removes His priestly attire and assumes His royal garments, at the close of probation, He assumes a similar title, “King of kings, and Lord of lords” (Rev. 19:16, cf. 17:14).
A great God.
 Nehemiah uses similar language (Neh. 9:32).
Mighty.
 From a word denoting a great hero, a mighty warrior (Judges 11:1). It is also applied to the lion as the mightiestamong beasts (Prov. 30:30). The superlative used in Deut. 10:14 of God’s dwelling place is similar to this expression for God.
Regardeth not persons.
 This statement reads, literally, “not does he lift up faces, and not does he take a bribe.” Jehovah will always deal justly. Sacrifices and gifts do not influence Him to condone willful wickedness (see Ex. 23:8; Lev. 19:15). Note the words of the apostle Peter in his contact with Cornelius, who, like Peter, had received a vision (Acts 10:34, 35).
