This salvation represented a completely new start. The flood was God's judgement upon the earth, after the flood God said He would never again send such a flood. The salvation God sends is a completely new start, as Paul puts it we are a new creation.
God's love for us is unchanging. Again we get the emphasis on His deep compassion for us. We need to meditate on the fact that God loves us. The creator of the whole universe, the giver of life, the One who keeps everything going, love us.
"Afflicted city, lashed by storms ..." God was fully aware of what had happened to Israel, just as He is fully aware of all that has happened to you and I. But now He is in the business of rebuilding our lives, and He is building us into something beautiful. And this involves righteousness.
