Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.
Our heavenly Father feels for His children as a father feels for his own; He sees much to pity even in the best of men, and His compassion flows toward us at this very moment, never ceasing, never failing. We do not worship a god of stone but the living God, who is tenderness itself.

He knows our frame, the brittle earthen vessels we are, how prone to sin, how impotent to good, how the flesh weakens even when the spirit is willing. He remembers we are dust, returning to it soon enough, and this knowledge tempers His hand against us; He does not strike beyond what we can bear.
AI summary
God executes righteousness not only for His people but for all the oppressed; He is the patron of wronged innocency everywhere. It is His honour to humble the proud and help the helpless. Divine revelation is the first and greatest favour the church receives, for by knowing God we are restored to Him and given all good.
