Psalms 106:44 - Exposition

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction; or, "he saw them in their trouble," i.e. he looked on them, and had regard to them (see 2 Kings 17:13 ; 2 Chronicles 36:15 ). When he heard their cry. As God "heard the cry" of his people, when they suffered oppression in Egypt ( Exodus 2:23 ; Exodus 3:7 , Exodus 3:9 ), so also in their other oppressions ( 3:9 , 3:15 ; 4:3 ; 6:6 ; 10:10 ; 1 Samuel 12:10 , 1 Samuel 12:11 , etc), if they did but humble themselves and "cry" to him, he always hearkened and gave them deliverance ( 1 Chronicles 5:20 ; 2 Chronicles 12:7 ; 2 Chronicles 14:11 , 2 Chronicles 14:12 ; 2 Chronicles 20:4-24 ; 2 Chronicles 32:20 , 2 Chronicles 32:21 ; 2 Chronicles 33:11-13 ).
