Contextual Overview

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance! 13The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. 14From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.15He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works. 16No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength. 17A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save. 18Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion 19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. 20Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. 21For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

From the place of his habitation,.... Which is heaven, that is, the habitation of his holiness, and of his glory, Isaiah 63:15;

he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth; good and bad; and not the nation of Israel only, but the Gentile world, whom in former times he overlooked, but under the Gospel dispensation visits in a way of mercy; by sending his son to die for them, by spreading his Gospel among them, by calling them by his grace, by planting churches in the midst of them, and by continuing his word and ordinances with them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

From the place of his habitation - From his dwelling - heaven.

He looketh down - He continually sees. The sentiment is repeated here to show that no one can escape his eye; that the condition, the characters, the wants of all are intimately known to him, and that thus he can watch over his people - all that love and serve him - and can guard them from danger. See Psalms 33:18-19.
