Psalms 22:23

"I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you."

Key Reflection

In Psalms 22:23, the speaker declares God's name to their brothers and praises Him in community settings. This act of declaring God’s name is a profound way of spreading His renown, mirroring the idea that through Christ, believers are called to proclaim God's glory (Hebrews 2:12). The cultural context emphasizes the communal nature of worship and the importance of sharing one's faith within family and religious gatherings.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Ye that fear the Lord -A phrase denoting those who are pious. Praise him -This is language which may be supposed to be addressed by the speaker in the great congregation. In the previous verse he had said that he would praise God “in the midst of the congregation;” he here speaks as if he were in that congregation, and addressing them. He, therefore, calls on them to praise and honor God. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him -The descendants of Jacob; that is, all who are true worshippers of God. And fear him -Honour him, worship him. See the notes atPsalms 5:7.
