Psalm 22
1. David complains in great discouragement
9. He prays in great distress
23. He praises God














You who fear the LORD
This phrase calls upon those who hold a deep reverence and awe for God. The Hebrew word for "fear" here is "yare," which encompasses a profound respect and honor for the divine. In the context of ancient Israel, fearing the LORD was synonymous with acknowledging His sovereignty and holiness. This fear is not about terror but about recognizing God's majesty and authority, leading to worship and obedience. Historically, the fear of the LORD was foundational to the covenant relationship between God and His people, as seen throughout the Old Testament.

praise Him!
The call to "praise" is an invitation to express adoration and gratitude towards God. The Hebrew word "halal" is the root for "praise," which means to boast or to shine. This form of praise is exuberant and public, reflecting the joy and reverence of those who recognize God's mighty acts and character. In the scriptural context, praise is a response to God's faithfulness and deliverance, as seen in the Psalms, where the psalmist often recounts God's deeds as a basis for worship.

All descendants of Jacob
This phrase refers to the Israelites, the chosen people of God, who are the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel. The mention of Jacob connects the audience to the patriarchal promises and the covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Historically, this identity as descendants of Jacob was central to the Jewish understanding of their relationship with God, reminding them of their unique role and calling among the nations.

honor Him!
To "honor" God is to give Him the glory and respect due to His name. The Hebrew word "kabad" implies giving weight or significance to someone. In the biblical context, honoring God involves living in a way that reflects His holiness and commands. It is an acknowledgment of His rightful place as the Creator and Sustainer of all. This call to honor is a reminder of the covenantal relationship where God's people are to live in a manner that reflects His character.

All offspring of Israel
Similar to the "descendants of Jacob," this phrase emphasizes the collective identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people. The term "offspring" or "seed" in Hebrew is "zera," which often signifies continuity and the fulfillment of God's promises through generations. In the historical and scriptural context, the offspring of Israel are reminded of their heritage and the faithfulness of God to His covenant, encouraging them to live in faithfulness and obedience.

revere Him!
To "revere" is to hold in deep respect and awe. The Hebrew word "gur" suggests a sense of fear mingled with admiration and devotion. Reverence for God is a central theme in the Bible, where God's holiness and majesty demand a response of worship and submission. In the context of Psalm 22, this reverence is a response to God's deliverance and faithfulness, encouraging the people to live in a way that honors and glorifies Him.

(23, 24) These verses contain the substance of the poet's joyful announcement.

Verse 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.
