Contextual Overview

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord , the people he chose for his very own. 13 The Lord looks down from heaven and sees every person. 14 From his throne he watches all who live on earth. 15 He made their hearts and understands everything they do. 16 No king is saved by his great army. No warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 Horses can't bring victory; they can't save by their strength. 18 But the Lord looks after those who fear him, those who put their hope in his love. 19 He saves them from death and spares their lives in times of hunger. 20 So our hope is in the Lord . He is our help, our shield to protect us. 21 We rejoice in him, because we trust 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.
