And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

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:

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
