Psalms 22:25

"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 fulfilled Jesus' declaration that, "The meek shall inherit the earth." "It is plain that the marvelous results that are here enumerated must be thought of as being fruits of the experience through which the Sufferer has just passed."[19] The word "for" in Psalms 22:24 makes this understanding of the passage mandatory.

"The last few verses of this psalm indicate that every class and kind of men shall share in the blessings of the experience which the psalm has reported. The `meek' and `those that seek the Lord' are mentioned especially."[20]

"Live forever" (Psalms 22:26). Yes, nothing less than eternal life is the reward of those who shall truly love and serve the Redeemer. The language here goes far beyond what could possibly be ascribed to any earthly king. Only the King of Kings and Lord of Lords could make a promise like this.

"Your heart" (Psalms 22:26). These words have troubled some scholars, but as Dahood stated, "They evidently refer to the members of the congregation"[21] mentioned by the psalmist, that is, to the followers of Jesus Christ.
