Augustine of Hippo, on Ps 93:7

“And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.”

“However, with the other class of unbelievers who either believe that there is no divine power or that it has nothing to do with human affairs, I am not sure that an argument should be undertaken on any subject of dutiful devotion, although hardly anyone can be found nowadays who is so foolish as to dare to say even in his own heart, "There is no God." But other fools are not lacking who have said, "The Lord shall not see," that is, he does not extend his providence to these earthly affairs. Accordingly, in those books which I wish your charity to read, along with the description of the city of God, if God wills and for whom he wills, I shall justify the belief that not only does God exist—and this belief is so ingrained in nature that hardly any impiety ever tears it out—but that he regulates human affairs, from governing human beings to rewarding the just with blessedness in the company of the holy angels and condemning the wicked to the lot of the bad angels.”
