God's Two-Sided Justice
Commentators explain that this verse reveals a core aspect of God's character. He actively intervenes in human affairs with a two-sided justice: He saves the humble and afflicted, while simultaneously opposing and bringing down the proud. This isn't just a passive observation but a declaration of God's direct action in the world.
