Your Struggle is Seen by God

Commentators emphasize that David's prayer begins with a statement of faith: "You have seen." While his enemies gloat over what they see, David finds comfort and courage in the fact that God also sees the full picture of injustice. This reminds believers that no wrong goes unnoticed by God, and His perfect awareness is the very foundation for our appeals for help and vindication.
