God's Pattern of Rescue
Commentators agree that this verse reveals a timeless truth about God's character. When people are crushed by oppression, their cries turn them toward the true God. In response, God faithfully sends a deliverer to rescue them. Scholars like Charles Ellicott compare this to how God sent judges to save Israel, showing a consistent pattern of divine intervention in response to human suffering and prayer.
