Psalms 102:19
Compare all
17 aHe shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer. 
18 This will be awritten for the generation to come,
That ba people yet to be created may praise the Lord. 
19 For He alooked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth, 
20 aTo hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death, 
21 To adeclare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem, 
22 aWhen the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord. 
23 He weakened my strength in the way;
He ashortened my days.

Psalms 102:19

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary - From his high and holy dwelling-place, in heaven. The word here rendered "looked down," means, in Kal, to lay upon or over; then, in Niphil, to lie out over anything, to project; and then, to bend forward. It then means to bend or incline forward with an intention to look at anything, as from a window, Genesis 26:8. Compare Psalms 14:2. See also Psalms 85:12, note; I Peter 1:12, note.

From heaven did the Lord behold the earth - Did he look abroad over all the world.
