God Sees Your Hidden Pain
Commentators agree that the psalmist's primary comfort comes from God's complete awareness. He finds solace not in an immediate change of circumstances, but in the certainty that God sees his reproach, shame, and dishonor. John Calvin highlights this as a vital application of divine providence, which serves as a powerful defense against despair when we feel overwhelmed and unseen by the world.
