Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Psalms 22:30-31

‘A seed will serve Him. It will be told of the Lord unto the next generation. They will come and will declare His righteousness, to a people who will be born, that he has done it.'

And a seed will serve Him, the holy seed of Isaiah 6:13, those who have been refined and have responded to Him and looked for salvation. And they will pass on the truth about the Lord to the next generation, and will declare His righteousness to a people yet unborn. For they will learn that ‘He has done it'.
