Context of Psalms 22:28
26The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him. May your hearts live forever! 27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before you, for kingship belongs to the Lord; he rules the nations. 29All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust will kneel before him — even the one who cannot preserve his life. 30Their descendants will serve him; the next generation will be told about the Lord.
