God's Active Compassion
Commentators emphasize that God's seeing and hearing are not passive acts. When God "sawest the affliction," it was with active pity and compassion that moved Him to send a deliverer. Similarly, when He "heardest their cry" at the Red Sea, He responded by powerfully working salvation. This verse shows that God actively engages with the suffering of His people.
