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 reversal of the bad conditions previously referred to as characteristic of David in his misery (cf. Psalms 22:14-15; Psalms 22:17). These words would have encouraged God’s people to keep praying and trusting in the Lord.
