18. “Behold, the Eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear Him:” because if thou seek salvation, behold, the love of the Lord is upon them that fear Him. “Upon them that hope in His mercy” ( ver. 18 ): that hope not in their own strength, but in His mercy.
Eusebius The Church History of Eusebius, The Overthrow of the Tyrants and the Words which they uttered before their Death
5. Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy, to deliver their souls from death.”
