Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy 4:9

4:7 So nigh - By glorious miracles, by the pledges of his special presence, by the operations of his grace, and particularly by his readiness to hear our prayers, and to give us those succours which we call upon him for.

4:8 So righteous - Whereby he implies that the true greatness of a nation doth not consist in pomp or power, or largeness of empire, as commonly men think, but in the righteousness of its laws.

4:10 Thou stoodest - Some of them stood there in their own persons, though then they were but young, the rest in the loins of their parents.

4:11 The midst of heaven - Flaming up into the air, which is often called heaven.
