Despite Israel's repeated disobedience and idolatry, God remains attentive to their cries for help. This reflects the consistent biblical theme of God's readiness to forgive and restore His people when they repent. The word "nevertheless" indicates a turning point, emphasizing God's grace despite human failure. This is reminiscent of <a href="/exodus/2-23.htm">Exodus 2:23-25</a>, where God hears the groaning of the Israelites in Egypt and remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It underscores the idea that God is a covenant-keeping God who listens to His people, even when they have strayed.<p><b>He took note of their distress.</b><br>This phrase suggests that God is not only aware of His people's suffering but is also moved to action. The Hebrew concept of "taking note" implies a deep, personal concern and a willingness to intervene. This is seen throughout the Old Testament, where God responds to the cries of His people, such as in <a href="/judges/2-18.htm">Judges 2:18</a>, where God raises up judges to deliver Israel from their oppressors. The distress mentioned here can be understood as both physical and spiritual, as Israel often faced external threats and internal moral decay. This phrase also points to the nature of God as one who is intimately involved in the lives of His people, foreshadowing the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who is described in the New Testament as the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and responds to their needs (<a href="/john/10-14.htm">John 10:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is portrayed as compassionate and attentive to the cries of His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of Israel, who often found themselves in distress due to their disobedience and rebellion against God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/d/distress.htm">Distress</a></b><br>The various troubles and hardships faced by the Israelites, often as a result of their own actions.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/crying_out.htm">Crying Out</a></b><br>The act of the Israelites calling upon God in their times of need, seeking His mercy and intervention.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_compassionate_nature.htm">God's Compassionate Nature</a></b><br>God is inherently compassionate and attentive to the cries of His people, even when they have strayed from Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_repentance.htm">The Power of Repentance</a></b><br>When we find ourselves in distress due to our own actions, turning back to God and crying out for His help is a powerful step towards restoration.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_to_his_covenant.htm">God's Faithfulness to His Covenant</a></b><br>Despite human unfaithfulness, God remains faithful to His promises and His covenant, offering hope and redemption.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_crying_out_to_god.htm">The Importance of Crying Out to God</a></b><br>In times of trouble, we should not hesitate to cry out to God, trusting that He hears us and is willing to intervene.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/learning_from_israel's_history.htm">Learning from Israel's History</a></b><br>The history of Israel serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the mercy available through repentance and seeking God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_106.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 106</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_psalms_of_lament.htm">What are the Psalms of Lament?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_cry_'out_of_the_depths'_in_psalm_130_1.htm">If God is truly omnipresent, why must the psalmist cry 'out of the depths' in Psalm 130:1 to be heard?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_psalm_22_1_contradict_god's_faithfulness.htm">Psalm 22:1 - Does the writer's cry of abandonment contradict other biblical depictions of God's faithfulness to the righteous?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_jesus_say_'forsaken_me'.htm">If Jesus is God, why did He say 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?' on the cross (Matthew 27:46)?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/106.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 44.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Nevertheless he regarded their affliction;</span> or, "he saw them in their trouble," <span class="accented">i.e.</span> he looked on them, and had regard to them (see <a href="/2_kings/17-13.htm">2 Kings 17:13</a>;
