Contextual Overview

12Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. 13The LORD looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man; 14From His dwelling place He looks closely Upon all the inhabitants of the earth—15He who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers and understands all that they do. 16The king is not saved by the great size of his army; A warrior is not rescued by his great strength. 17A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. 18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience], On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness, 19To rescue their lives from death And keep them alive in famine. 20We wait [expectantly] for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. 21For in Him our heart rejoices, Because we trust [lean on, rely on, and are confident] 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.
