Context of Psalms 22:23

21Save me from the mouth of the lion and from the horns of wild oxen. You have answered me. 22I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation. All who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel. 24The Lord has not despised or been disgusted with the plight of the oppressed one. He has not hidden his face from that person. The Lord heard when that oppressed person cried out to him for help. 25My praise comes from you while I am among those assembled for worship. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear the Lord.

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.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 23Ye that fear the Lord - A phrase denoting those who are pious. Praise him - This is language which may be supposed to be addressed by the speaker in the great congregation. In the previous verse he had said that he would praise God “in the midst of the congregation;” he here speaks as if he were in that congregation, and addressing them. He, therefore, calls on them to praise and honor God. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him - The descendants of Jacob…Read the comment

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
