Contextual Overview

12 How happy the nation whose God is, Yahweh, The people he hath chosen as his own inheritance! 13 Out of the heavens, hath Yahweh looked, He hath seen all the sons of men: 14 Out of his settled place of abode, hath he fixed his gaze on all the inhabitants of the earth: 15 Who fashioneth their heart all together, Who understandeth all their doings. 16 Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength: 17 A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver. 18 Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness: 19 To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he! 21 For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.

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.
