Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 22:22

"I will declare thy name unto my brethren:In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;All ye seed of Jacob glorify him;And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;Neither hath he hid his face from him;But when he cried unto him, he heard.""My brethren ... the assembly ... praise of God... seed of Jacob ... seed of Israel." (Psalms 22:22-23). The words of these two verses speak of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:22

Psalms 22:22. I will declare thy name— Nothing is more common in the psalms, than these sudden transitions, and nothing more beautiful. Our Saviour here passes from the mournful view of his death to the comfortable prospect of his resurrection. He intimates, that after God should have delivered him from the power of death by a glorious resurrection, he would more fully publish his gospel, by which the adorable perfections of God, and especially his wisdom and mercy, would be more eminently... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:22

22-24. He declares his purpose to celebrate God's gracious dealings and publish His manifested perfections ("name," :-), c., and forthwith he invites the pious (those who have a reverential fear of God) to unite in special praise for a deliverance, illustrating God's kind regard for the lowly, whom men neglect [Psalms 22:24]. To hide the face (or eyes) expresses a studied neglect of one's cause, and refusal of aid or sympathy (compare Psalms 30:7 Isaiah 1:15). 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

Thomas Constable

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

In view of the Lord’s deliverance, David vowed to praise God publicly. God later saved His Son from death just as He now delivered the psalmist from it. In David’s case, He did so by prolonging his life, and in Christ’s, by resurrection. The writer of Hebrews quoted this verse in Hebrews 2:12 as an expression of the Lord Jesus’ praise to God for delivering Him from death in answer to His prayer (cf. Hebrews 5:7). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 22:23-26

David next called on the congregation of Israel to join him in praising God because He had come to his aid (cf. Psalms 22:1-2). David had evidently made vows to God during the time of his distress that he now promised to pay. Vows in Israel were promises to give God something if God would do a certain thing for the person vowing, or because He had already done a certain thing for him or her. People sometimes vowed material things, but often they promised to give praise.Psalms 22:26 describes a... read more

John Dummelow

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
