Why does it say "Ki Ram Hashem v'Shfal Yir'eh"?

1.

Radak: Then, they will admit that Hashem is elevated, and He lowers and supervises lower beings, unlike people said "Avim Seser Lo v'Lo Yir'eh v'Chug Shamayim Yis'halech" (Iyov 22:14). When they saw that Hashem saw in my affliction and lowliness, they admitted that "v'Shfal Yir'eh."

2.

Mesilas Yesharim (Perek 25): Hashem oversees everything, small or big. Nothing is hidden from His eyes, not due to the greatness or smallness of the matter. He sees and understands them without difference.

3.

Malbim: This is the opposite of people. A person in a high place, the high is closer to him than the lowly. Hashem, the lowly is closer to him than the high!

What is the meaning of "Yeyeda"?

1.

Rashi: He afflicts. This is like "va'Yoda Bahem Es Anshei Sukos" (Shoftim 8:16). Radak - this is Hif'il, like "v'Almanah Lo Yeyetiv" (Iyov 24:21). Hashem is elevated, and from afar, i.e. Shamayim, which is far from the land, He makes His ways known to people. They will know that He sees them.

2.

Radak: He will break. This is like "va'Yoda Bahem Es Anshei Sukos." Hashem is elevated, and sees the lowly and benefits him, and breaks the high and haughty.
