Psalm 22:30 ASV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:30

Psalms 22:30. A seed shall serve him Christ shall not want a seed or posterity, for though the Jewish nation will generally reject him, the Gentiles shall come in their stead. It shall be accounted for a generation That believing seed shall be reputed, both by God and men, the generation, or people of the Lord, as the Jews formerly were. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:0 Suffering and salvationAt the time of the writing of this psalm, David had reached what he thought was the farthest extreme of suffering. He was almost at the point of despair. Christians know that they are required to share the sufferings of Christ (Colossians 1:24), but David was probably unaware that, in the experiences recorded here, he was also having a share in those sufferings. His experiences were a foretaste of the greater sufferings that the messianic king Jesus would one... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22The mood of this psalm contrasts dramatically with that of Psalms 21. In this one, David felt forsaken by God, and the threats of his enemies lay heavily on his heart. He evidently felt death might be close. He described his condition as facing execution. Nevertheless the Lord answered his prayer for help."No Christian can read this without being vividly confronted with the crucifixion. It is not only a matter of prophecy minutely fulfilled, but of the sufferer’s humility-there is no... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 22:27-31

God’s purpose for Israel was that she be a kingdom of priests by mediating the knowledge of God to all people, and by bringing all people into a relationship with God (Exodus 19:6). David had an unhindered view of this purpose, as is clear from this expression of his concern that God’s deliverance of him would result in the Gentiles turning to Yahweh in faith. After all, Yahweh is the sovereign King who rules over all nations, not just Israel (Psalms 22:28). All people will bow before Him,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

The Ps. has two sections, in the first of which (Psalms 22:1-21) the writer earnestly seeks God’s help in a time of extreme trouble, while in the second (Psalms 22:22-31) he breaks into a song of thanksgiving and praise. The trouble is caused by strong and relentless enemies who scorn his trust in God, and persistently threaten his life. The thanksgiving is remarkable for its anticipation of the worldwide acknowledgment of God that is to follow the Psalmist’s deliverance. The last-named fact... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 22:30

(30) A seed . . .—Better, Posterity shall serve Him. About Jehovah it shall be told to the (coming) generation. The article makes for this interpretation. Others, as in Psalms 87:6, understand a reference to the census; but the parallelism is against this reference. The next verse repeats the same thought in another form. read more

The Future of the Christian Church Psalms 22:27 What is to be the future of the Church of Christ on earth? Is the kingdom of God advancing and still to advance? Often it seems to the faithful that they are in presence of a standstill, or even of a retrogression. They are tried, strained, surprised at the slow victories of faith. It seems as if the Gospel were slighted, put aside, failing of its full effect Sometimes they have days of glorious triumph, but often the heart sinks before the... read more
