Psaume 33:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 33:13

The Lord looketh from heaven
Where his throne and temple are, upon the earth and men, and things in it, as follows;

he beholdeth all the sons of men;
the evil and the good; which is contrary to the sense of many wicked men, who imagine he takes no notice of what is done here below; but his eye is upon all, upon all the workers of iniquity, how secret soever they may be; and not only his eye of Providence is upon good men, but his eye of love, grace, and mercy; and he has a special and distinct knowledge of them: agreeably to this are some expressions of Heathen writers; says one ^F5,

``the eye of God sees all things;''

says another ^F6,

``there is a great God in heaven who sees all things, and governs.''

Psaume 33:13 In-Context

11 Les desseins de l'Eternel subsistent à toujours, Et les projets de son coeur, de génération en génération.

12 Heureuse la nation dont l'Eternel est le Dieu! Heureux le peuple qu'il choisit pour son héritage!

13 L'Eternel regarde du haut des cieux, Il voit tous les fils de l'homme;

14 Du lieu de sa demeure il observe Tous les habitants de la terre,

15 Lui qui forme leur coeur à tous, Qui est attentif à toutes leurs actions.
