Contextual Overview

12And now, O Israel, what is your God YHWH asking from you, except to fear your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul, 13to keep the commands of YHWH, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for good for you? 14Behold, the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, [belong] to your God YHWH, [as does] the earth and all that [is] in it. 15Only, YHWH has delighted in your fathers, to love them, and He fixes on their seed after them—on you, out of all the peoples, as [at] this day. 16And you have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and you do not harden your neck anymore. 17For He, your God YHWH, [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords—the great, the mighty, and the fearful God, who does not accept by appearances, nor takes a bribe; 18He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give bread and raiment to him.19And you have loved the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. 20You fear your God YHWH, you serve Him, and you cleave to Him, and you swear by His Name. 21He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done these great and fearful [things] with you which your eyes have seen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow,.... Who have none to help them, and whose patron and defender he is, and will do them justice himself, and take care that it is done them by others, or avenge their injuries, for he is a Father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widow, in his holy habitation; Psalms 68:5

and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment; one that is in a foreign country, at a distance from his native land, and destitute of friends; such God in his providence takes care of, and expresses his love and kindness to, by giving them the necessaries of life, food, and raiment.
