“For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?”
For what great nation is there, that has God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him? -- the rhetorical question asserts Israel's unique privilege: the LORD is near, responsive to prayer. Other nations have gods, but none are as accessible. The phrase 'in all things that we call upon him' emphasizes the intimacy of the relationship. Nearness (kirovah) is Israel's distinctive blessing.
