“And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:”
We cried to the LORD, the God of our ancestors; the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression — the cry (tze'akah) reaches God's ears; he 'sees' (ra'ah) the suffering. The sequence moves from human cry to divine attention: the covenant God is responsive.
