Psalm 22:23 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 22:22-31

The same that began the psalm complaining, who was no other than Christ in his humiliation, ends it here triumphing, and it can be no other than Christ in his exaltation. And, as the first words of the complaint were used by Christ himself upon the cross, so the first words of the triumph are expressly applied to him (Heb. 2:12) and are made his own words: I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. The certain prospect which Christ had of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:23

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him ,.... By whom are meant, not the proselytes among the Gentiles, as distinct from the Jews, which is the sense of some Jewish interpreters F14 Midrash Tillim, Jarchi & Aben Ezra, in loc. ; but all the people of God, whether Jews or Gentiles, who have the grace of filial and godly fear put into their hearts, with which they worship God, and walk before him in all holy conversation; which is not a fear of wrath, or a distrust of divine goodness; but... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:23

Ye that fear the Lord - This is an exhortation to the Jews particularly, to profit by the preaching of the Gospel. Perhaps, by them that fear him, the Gentiles, and particularly the proselytes, may be intended. The Jews are mentioned by name: Glorify him, all ye seed of Jacob; fear him, all ye seed of Israel. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:23

Verse 23 23.Ye who fear Jehovah. Here, again, the Psalmist expresses more distinctly the fruit of public and solemn thanksgiving, of which I have spoken before, declaring, that by engaging in this exercise, every man in his own place invites and stirs up the church by his example to praise God. He tells us, that the end for which he will praise the name of God in the public assembly is to encourage his brethren to do the same. But as hypocrites commonly thrust themselves into the church, and as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

The psalm is composed, manifestly, of two portions—the complaint and prayer of a sufferer ( Psalms 22:1-21 ), and a song of rejoicing after deliverance ( Psalms 22:22-31 ). According to some critics, the first of these two portions is also itself divided into two parts—each consisting of two strophes ( Psalms 22:1-10 and Psalms 22:12-21 ), which are linked together by a single ejaculatory verse ( Psalms 22:11 ). A further analysis divides each of the three strophes of ten verses... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

From darkness to light; or, the song of the early dawn. This is one of the most wonderful of all the psalms. It has gathered round it the study of expositors of most diverse types—from those who see in it scarcely aught but a description beforehand of the Messiah's suffering and glory, to those who see in it scarcely any Messianic reference at all, and who acknowledge only one sense in which even the term "Messianic" is to be tolerated, even in the fact that light gleams forth after the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

A struggle from the gloom of adversity to peace and joy. It was said among the heathen that a just man struggling with adversity was a sight worthy of the gods. Such a sight we have here. We see a truly just man struggling from the gloomiest depths of adversity upwards to the serene heights of peace and joy in God. Three stages may be marked. I. THE WAIL OF DESERTION . ( Psalms 22:1-10 .) Suffering is no "strange thing." It comes sooner or later to all. Always, and especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:22-31

Consequences of deliverance. In this last part the sufferer depicts the happy consequences of his deliverance, which he anticipates in faith, and, lifted up in spirit above the present, beholds, as if it were already present. I. THE PSALMIST 'S DELIVERANCE SHALL BE A CAUSE OF REJOICING TO ALL ISRAEL . ( Psalms 22:22-26 .) 1 . He will inspire the whole congregation with the tidings. We cannot and ought not to keep to ourselves the great fact of our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:23

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel . "All Israel:" all the people of God are called upon to join in the praise which the Sea will henceforth offer to the Father through eternity. The praise of God is to be joined with the fear of God, according to the universal teaching of Scripture. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:23

Ye that fear the Lord - A phrase denoting those who are pious.Praise him - This is language which may be supposed to be addressed by the speaker in the great congregation. In the previous verse he had said that he would praise God “in the midst of the congregation;” he here speaks as if he were in that congregation, and addressing them. He, therefore, calls on them to praise and honor God.All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him - The descendants of Jacob; that is, all who are true worshippers of... read more
