Context of Psalms 22:23
21Save me from the lion’s mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. 22I will tell of Your name to my countrymen; In the midst of the congregation I will praise You. You who fear the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence], praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him. Fear Him [with submissive wonder], all you descendants of Israel. 24For He has not despised nor detested the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He listened. 25My praise will be of You in the great assembly. I will pay my vows [made in the time of trouble] before those who [reverently] fear Him.

Commentaries on Psalms 22:23
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 23Ye 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.

He declares his purpose to celebrate God's gracious dealings and publish His manifested perfections ("name," Psa 5:11), &c., and forthwith he invites the pious (those who have a reverential fear of God) to unite in special praise for a deliverance, illustrating God's kind regard for the lowly, whom men neglect [Psa 22:24]. To hide the face (or eyes) expresses a studied neglect of one's cause, and refusal of aid or sympathy (compare Psa 30:7; Is…Read the comment
