Context of Psalms 22:29

27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before you, 28for kingship belongs to the Lord; he rules the nations. All 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. 31They will come and declare his righteousness; to a people yet to be born they will declare what he has done.
