• God will fulfill His promises to Israel, and bless them through His own grace, and they will go to the valley of Achor (Josh. 7:26; Hos. 2:15), the place where the first judgment came on Israel in the land, for profaning themselves with the forbidden thing, and there where they had been judged, they will get the blessing through mercy. But now, Peter says, you, the believing remnant, get this position before the time comes when God will restore the nation. (“Our Holy and Royal Priesthood” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• Their faith rests on Him, not on themselves; whosoever believeth on Him shall not be confounded; and they did believe on Him who secures all for the weakest that is His. Hence they anticipate Hos. 2:23 before it can be verified to Israel, as ver. 10 clearly proves. They are warranted to appropriate now the prophet's words. It is due to Christ whom God delights to honor. (“1 Peter 2:9-10” by W. Kelly)
• The once "no people" were now God's people; the unpitied as to their settled state, which the perfect implies, were now pitied. How truly great His mercy now! (“1 Peter 2:9-10” by W. Kelly)
• These are the words of Hosea 2. This sets before us, in the most interesting way, the principle on which the blessing is founded. In Exodus the people were to have this blessing if they exactly obeyed the voice of God. But Israel had not obeyed….But afterwards, when the judgment had been executed, He returns to His irrevocable purposes of grace, and allures Israel as a forsaken wife. (“1 Peter 2” by J.N. Darby)

who once were not a people, but now God’s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercyh.

JND Translation Notes

+
h
I have endeavoured to express the perfect participle of the verb "to show mercy" by "enjoying mercy," and the aorist participle of the same verb by "having found mercy." See Hos. 1.10; 2.23.

W. Kelly Translation

10
who once [were] no people but now God’s peoplea, the unpitied, but now pitied.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
"God’s people" suffices, and at the end without "have," the fact now simply, in contrast with the previous state of Lo-ruhamah (not my people).
