The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:24

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted . The Father might seem by his passivity to disregard his Son's affliction; but it was not really so. Every pang was marked, every suffering sympathized with. And the reward received from the Father was proportionate (see Isaiah 53:12 , "Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death;" and Philippians 2:8-11 , "He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:25

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation . The phraseology is that of the Mosaic dispensation, with which alone David was acquainted. But the fulfilment is in those services of praise where, whenever Christ's disciples are gathered together, there is he in the midst of them. I will pay my vows before them that fear him . "Vows," in the strict sense of the word, are scarcely meant; rather "devotions" generally. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:24

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted - This expresses the belief that his prayer had been heard. The fact that he had been thus heard is here assigned to be the ground or reason for the exhortation in the previous verse, addressed to all the pious. The Lord had heard his prayer, and this was a reason why others should also confide in the Lord, and feel assured that he would likewise hear their prayers.Neither hath he hid his face from him - That is,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:23-25

Psalms 22:23-25. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him Not only for my sake, (they are the words of the risen and exalted Saviour,) but chiefly for your own benefit, received through my deliverance from death, and exaltation to God’s right hand, by which I am made head over all things, for the good of my church and people. All ye seed of Jacob, &c. He first addresses himself to his ancient people, to whom the gospel was first to be preached. How long, O Lord, holy and true, shall thy once... 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

"Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:I will pay my vows before them that fear him.The meek shall eat and be satisfied;They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:Let your heart live forever,""In the great assembly" (Psalms 22:25). Again, this word speaks of the Church established by our Lord. See Kidner's comment on this under Psalms 22:22, above."The meek shall eat and be satisfied" (Psalms 22:26). This attitude of the Church of God toward the meek and the humble of earth... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:25

25, 26. My praise shall be of thee—or, perhaps better, "from thee," that is, God gives grace to praise Him. With offering praise, he further evinces his gratitude by promising the payment of his vows, in celebrating the usual festival, as provided in the law (Deuteronomy 12:18; Deuteronomy 16:11), of which the pious or humble, and they that seek the Lord (His true worshippers) shall partake abundantly, and join him in praise [Deuteronomy 16:11- :]. In the enthusiasm produced by his lively... read more
