Context of Psalms 22:23

21Do not let those lions eat me! Keep me safe from the horns of those wild bulls! I know that you have answered my prayer! 22I will tell my people how great you are. I will praise you when we meet together. Everyone who serves the Lord must praise him! All Jacob's descendants must respect him! Yes, all Israel's people must worship him! 24God did not forget to help the man who was in pain. He did not turn away from the one who suffered. When he called to God for help, God answered his prayer. 25Yes, I will praise you, God, in the great meeting of your people. I will give to you what I have promised to give. Everyone who serves you, Lord, will see that.

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
