Commentators explain that the image of God "standing up" signifies a deliberate shift from perceived silence to active intervention. When injustice, especially from leaders, seems to go unpunished, it can feel as though God is idle. This verse serves as a powerful promise that God is not indifferent; He sees and will rise to act as a righteous judge to contend with wickedness.
