Psalms 66:7 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

c). A Warning To The Nations To Remember In The Light Of His Historic Activity That He Is Observing Them (Psalms 66:7).

Psalms 66:7

‘He rules by his might for ever,

His eyes observe the nations,

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah.'

And just as God observed what the Egyptians were seeking to do at the Red Sea, so are the nations to recognise that He observes their activity against His people as well. He rules the world by His power, and His eyes sees all that they do (compare Zechariah 4:10). Thus those who rebel against Him by exalting themselves over His people should watch their step. They should recognise that He is not unaware of what they do. Such exaltation of themselves by nations against His people, and the resulting repercussions, are echoed in Isaiah 36-37. Our God sees all.

Psalms 66:7

7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
