From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

From the place of His habitation He looketh intently Upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

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 Psalm 33:18-19.

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.
