Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
Only the righteous can truly praise God, for unbelievers who have never tasted His goodness cannot speak His glory from the heart. When the ungodly attempt this exercise, they profane His holy name rather than honor it.

Commenting on Psalm 33:1-22
Behold. For this is a greater wonder than hosts and horses, a surer confidence than chariots or shields. The eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him. That eye of peculiar care is their glory and defence. None can take them at unawares, for the celestial watcher foresees the designs of their enemies, and provides against them.
Though God's residence is in the highest heavens, thence He sees all things and all persons; not the least thought can escape His observation. He fashioned every heart and still moulds them, turning them whichever way He pleases to serve His own purposes.
