Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding - keeping watch on - the evil and the good. The omnipresence and omniscience of Jehovah, the covenant God, is strongly insisted upon, and the sacred name recurs continually in this and the next chapter, and indeed throughout this Book of the Proverbs (see Wordsworth, in loc.). The LXX. renders the verb σκοπεύοιυσι "are watching," as from a tower or high place. To the usual references we may add Ecclus. 15:18, 19 Ecclus. 23:19, 20. Corn. a Lapide quotes Prudentius's hymn, used in the Latin Church at Thursday Lauds - "Speculator adstat desuper,Qui nos diebus omnibusActusque nostros prospicitA luce prima in vesperum." "For God our Maker, ever nigh,Surveys us with a watchful eye;Our every thought and act he knows,From early dawn to daylight's close."
