It underscores that God maintains a protective and elevating presence for those who walk in righteousness, ensuring their eternal security and honor.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And if they be bound in fetters -That is, if the righteous are thrown into prison, and are subjected to oppressions and trials, or if they are chained down, as it were, on a bed of pain, or crushed by heavy calamities, the eye of God is still upon them. Their sufferings should not be regarded either as proof that they are hypocrites, or that God is regardless of them, and is indifferent whether people are good or evil.
