God's Right to Speak
Commentators explain that this verse marks a solemn moment where God Himself begins to speak. He establishes His authority on two unshakable foundations: His universal sovereignty as "God" and His special covenant relationship as "thy God." This gives Him the ultimate right to judge His people, define true worship, and call them to account.
