Notes

Psalms 22:27

families of the nations: All clans and tribes of humanity (see Genesis 12:3; Revelation 5:9–10) will submit to the Lord (Psalm 96:1–3; see Psalms 2, 72; Isaiah 2:2–4; 1 Corinthians 15:25–27).

Psalms 22:25–31

The psalmist promises to praise the Lord, the great King of the earth (Psalm 22:27–28), who helps those in need. Only God deserves praise.

Psalms 22:1–31

All previous laments seem minor compared to this outcry against the enemy and God's abandonment. The psalm has two main sections:

the lament (Psalm 22:1–21) and
praise for redemption (Psalm 22:22–31).

This naturally leads to Psalm 23.

The apostles saw this psalm as expressing the sufferings of Jesus Christ. He ultimately fulfilled the purpose of David's humiliation, rejection by people, and divine abandonment (Matthew 27:35, 39, 43, 46; Mark 15:34; John 19:23–24, 28; Hebrews 2:12).

Psalms 20:1–24:10

This series of psalms shows a journey from confidence and commitment (Psalms 20–21), through anguish and abandonment (Psalm 22), and finally to comfort, insight, and hope (Psalms 23–24).
