For the Lord will judge his people; i.e. will right them whenever they are wronged (see Exodus 2:23-25; Exodus 3:7-9; Exodus 6:6; Psalms 54:1-3). And he will repent himself concerning his servants. God "will not keep his anger for ever" (Psalms 103:9).
When he has sufficiently chastised his sinful servants, he will "repent," or "relent" (Kay, Cheyne), with respect to them, and receive them back into favor. The history contained in the Book of Judges strongly illustrates this statement ( 3:6-11, 3:12-30; 4:1-3, 4:13-16; 6:1-16; 10:6-18; 11:4-33; 13:1-5, etc.
