Psalms 22:22-31

PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 22:22 The singer is confident that when God answers his prayer, he will be vindicated and will again be able to join God’s people in worship. Indeed, all the families of the nations will join him in praising God (see Genesis 12:3; Genesis 22:18; etc.). The singer’s personal story of trouble and vindication is part of the larger story of God’s redemptive work in the world.
