John Gill Commentary Psalms 33:13

"Jehovah looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;" — Psalms 33:13 (ASV)

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

he beholds 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 <sup>F6</sup> , ``there is a great God in heaven who sees all things, and governs.''
