Psalm 106:44 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:44

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction
Or "looked on them in distress" ^F4; he saw their affliction, and had compassion on them; he was so far from abhorring and despising the affliction of the afflicted, that he pitied them and sympathized with them; in all their afflictions he was afflicted; he looked upon them with an eye of pity and concern, and helped them out of their troubles.

When he heard their cry;
or their "prayer", as the Targum, and so other versions; crying is prayer; and it denotes vocal and vehement prayer, such as is put up to God in distress; and which he hears and answers; his ears are open to the cries of his people.

Psalm 106:44 In-Context

42 E i lor nemici li oppressarono; Ed essi furono abbassati sotto alla lor mano.

43 Egli li riscosse molte volte; Ma essi lo dispettarono co’ lor consigli, Onde furono abbattuti per la loro iniquità.

44 E pure egli ha riguardato, quando sono stati in distretta; Quando ha udito il lor grido;

45 E si è ricordato inverso loro del suo patto, E si è pentito, secondo la grandezza delle sue benignità.

46 Ed ha renduti loro pietosi Tutti quelli che li avevano menati in cattività.
