You Saw My Affliction

 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul - Psalm 31:7.

God saw the affliction of Israelites

The Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey" - Exodus 3:7,8.

God saw the affliction of Hagar

 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.” Then he added, “I will give you more descendants than you can count.” And the angel also said, “You are now pregnant and will give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael (which means ‘God hears’), for the Lord has heard your cry of distress. She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me" - Genesis 16:9-11, 13. 

The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men - Psalm 33:13.

 For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps- Job 34:21.
