‏ Psalms 22:22

The Messiah's Triumphs; Extension and Perpetuity of the Church

This part of the psalm moves from suffering to victory. The same person who began the psalm in pain—the Messiah, Jesus—now speaks in triumph. The words here are quoted in the New Testament about Jesus (Hebrews 2:12 a). Christ’s suffering led to joy and praise, and His victory brings blessings to all who trust Him. This section shows the results of Christ’s sacrifice: a worldwide church, praise to God, and hope for every generation.

v. 22: Jesus declares, “I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you” (Psalm 22:22; Hebrews 2:12 b). After His suffering, Jesus shares the good news about God with His followers. He is not ashamed to call us His family. He leads His people in praising God.
