Who remembered us in our low estate,This psalm is all about praising God, because of what He's done for us. In this verse, they're praising Him for remembering them. But it's the last word of that line that caught my attention. It's not "state," as in status, it's "estate."
For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
Now, I only know this word in terms of someone's possessions or property, but that didn't sound right. So I looked it up, and found that one of the things it can mean is "period or condition of life." So they're not praising Him for remembering them on a bad day, they're praising Him for remembering Him through long periods of life.
