God Sees, Hears, and Knows
Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin highlight that God's awareness of suffering is threefold: He has 'seen' the affliction, 'heard' the cry, and 'knows' the sorrows. This isn't mere repetition but shows the completeness of His perception and sympathy. He is not a distant observer but is intimately acquainted with every aspect of His people's pain, both external and internal.
