Psalms 22:27

_ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER AND TURN UNTO THE LORD: AND ALL THE KINDREDS OF THE NATIONS SHALL WORSHIP BEFORE THEE._ All ... shall remember, and turn unto the Lord. He passes to the conversion of all the Gentile nations, consequent on the conversion of all Israel. They shall then "remember" Him whom they have so long forgotten by apostasy, and shall turn to Him. The first step to repentance is that the sinner should recall to memory and ponder upon, his heavenly Father's love, and his own wicked folly. So the prodigal in Luke 15:17 (cf. Psalms 119:59; Ezekiel 16:61). 'The salvation of the Lord is so great, that it awakens the whole, pagan world out of its stupid insensibility' (Hengstenberg

27._All the ends of the earth shall remember. _This passage, beyond all doubt, shows that David stops not at his own person, but that under himself, as a type, he describes the promised Messiah. For even then, it ought to have been a well-known point, that he had been created king by God, that the people might be united together and enjoy a happy life under one head; and this was at length completely fulfilled in Christ. David’s name, I admit, was great and renowned among the neighboring nations; but what was the territory which they occupied in comparison of the whole world? Besides, the foreign nations whom he had subdued had never been converted by him to the true worship of God. That forced and slavish submission, therefore, which the heathen nations had been brought by conquest to yield to an earthly king, was very different from the willing obedience of true godliness by which they...

22-31 The Saviour now speaks as risen from the dead. The first words of the complaint were used by Christ himself upon the cross; the first words of the triumph are expressly applied to him, Hebrews 2:12. All our praises must refer to the work of redemption. The suffering of the Redeemer was graciously accepted as a full satisfaction for sin. Though it was offered for sinful men, the Father did not despise or abhor it for our sakes. This ought to be the matter of our thanksgiving. All humble, gracious souls should have a full satisfaction and happiness in him. Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness in Christ, shall not labour for that which satisfies not. Those that are much in praying, will be much in thanksgiving. Those that turn to God, will make conscience of worshipping before him. Let every tongue confess that he is Lord. High and low, rich and poor, bond and free, meet...

Verse Psalms 22:27. _ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD_] The Gospel shall be preached to every nation under heaven; and _all the kindred of_ _nations_, משפחות mishpechoth, the _families_ of the nations: not only the _nations_ of the world shall receive the Gospel as a _revelation_ from God, but _each family_ shall embrace it for their own salvation. _They shall worship before_ Jesus the Saviour, and through him shall all their praises be offered unto God....

ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD - All parts of the earth; all nations. The earth is frequently represented in the Scriptures as having limits or boundaries; as spread out; as having corners, etc. Compare Isaiah 11:12; Jeremiah 9:26; Jeremiah 25:23; Jeremiah 49:32; Revelation 7:1. This language is in accordance with the prevailing modes of thinking, in the same way as we say, “the sun rises;” “the sun sets,” etc. SHALL REMEMBER - The nations are often represented as “forgetting

EXPOSITION THERE is no psalm which has raised so much controversy as this. Admitted to be Messianic by the early Hebrew commentators, it is by some understood wholly of David; by others, applied to the Israelite people, or to the pious part of it; by others again, regarded as an ideal representation of the sufferings of the righteous man, and the effects of them; and by one or two eccentric critics, explained as referring to Hezekiah or Jeremiah. Against the view that David means to describe in the psalm his own dangers, sufferings, and deliverance, it is reasonably urged that David was at no time in the circumstances here described—he was never without a helper (Psalms 22:11); never "despised of the people" (Psalms 22:6); never stripped of his clothes ...

ALL THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER AND TURN UNTO THE LORD,.... That is, all the elect of God among the Gentiles, who live in the farthermost parts of the world, for whom Christ is appointed to be their salvation, and whom he calls to look to him for it; these shall remember the Lord whom they have forgotten, and against whom they have sinned, how great and how good he is; they shall be put in mind of their sins and iniquities committed against him, and call to mind their latter end; and consider, that after death will come judgment to which they must be brought; they shall be apprised of the grace and goodness of God in Christ, in providing and sending him to be the Saviour of lost sinners, by his sufferings and death, at large described in this psalm; which will encourage them to turn unto the Lord, since they may hope for full pardon of sin, through his blood and sacrifice; and t...

This Psalm is a sort of window, through which we can look into the heart of our crucified Saviour. We see all the external part of the crucifixion through the four windows of the Gospels; but this 22 nd Psalm brings us into the King's innermost chamber, and here we perceive the secret sufferings of his soul. You can very well conceive of the Lord Jesus Christ, when he was on the cross, beginning to speak in the language of the first verse of this Psalm, and closing with the last words of the Psalm: «He hath done this,» which might properly be interpreted, «It is finished.» I have often read this Psalm with you, especially on the evenings of our great communion services. If we are spared, we will read it together many more times. It is a very wonderful Psalm; the Lord give us to understand it as we read it!! Psalms 22:1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me! why art thou so far fro

Psalms 22 The Sufferings of Christ and the Glory That Follows _ 1. The suffering (Psalms 22:1)_ 2. The glory (Psalms 22:22) Psalms 22:1. In many respects this Psalm is the most remarkable in the entire book and one of the sublimest prophecies in the whole Bible. The sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow are here wonderfully foretold. The inscription mentions A yeleth Shahar, which means “the hind of the morning.” Jewish tradition identifies this hind with the early morning light, when the day dawns and the rays of the rising sun appear like the horns of the hind. The eminent Hebraist Professor Deli

XXII. This Ps. (p. 372) consists of two parts. In Psalms 22:1 a godly man in deep and manifold distress complains that the God of his fathers, the God who has been with him from the beginning, has deserted him (see p. 372). Psalms 22:22 is a liturgical addition: it expresses the pious Israelite's gratitude for Israel's glory, which is to be acknowledged even by the heathen. No attempt is made to bridge the gulf between the despair of Psalms 22:1 and the confidence of the added verses, which depict Israel's prosperity as already come. PSALMS 22:3. The LXX read, Thou dwellest in the holy place, O thou that art Israel's praise,
