The term "vindicate" suggests a legal context, where God acts as an advocate for His people, ensuring justice is served. This is consistent with God's character as depicted throughout the Old Testament, where He often intervenes on behalf of Israel against their enemies (e.g., <a href="/exodus/14-14.htm">Exodus 14:14</a>, <a href="/deuteronomy/32-36.htm">Deuteronomy 32:36</a>). The historical context includes periods of oppression and exile, where the Israelites looked to God for deliverance and justice. This promise of vindication is also prophetic, pointing to the ultimate justice brought through Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promises and the ultimate vindicator of His people (<a href="/romans/8-33.htm">Romans 8:33-34</a>).<p><b>and will have compassion on His servants.</b><br>The phrase highlights God's mercy and loving-kindness towards those who serve Him. "Compassion" here reflects God's deep love and care, often shown in His willingness to forgive and restore. This is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout Scripture, where God's compassion is a source of hope and comfort (<a href="/psalms/103-13.htm">Psalm 103:13</a>, <a href="/isaiah/49-13.htm">Isaiah 49:13</a>). The cultural context of servanthood in ancient Israel involved loyalty and dedication, and God's compassion is a response to the faithfulness of His servants. This compassion is ultimately embodied in Jesus Christ, who demonstrated God's love through His life, death, and resurrection, offering salvation and restoration to all who believe (<a href="/matthew/9-36.htm">Matthew 9:36</a>, <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is characterized by His faithfulness and justice.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/his_people.htm">His People</a></b><br>Refers to the nation of Israel, God's chosen people, whom He has promised to protect and vindicate.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/h/his_servants.htm">His Servants</a></b><br>Those who serve and worship God, often referring to the faithful within Israel who are devoted to His commandments.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_justice_and_compassion.htm">God's Justice and Compassion</a></b><br>God is both just and compassionate.

God "will not keep his anger for ever" (<a href="/psalms/103-9.htm">Psalm 103:9</a>). When he has sufficiently chastised his sinful servants, he will "repent," or "relent" (Kay, Cheyne), with respect to them, and receive them back into favor.
