Psalms 22:25

"For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard."

Key Reflection

This verse assures that God does not overlook or reject those who suffer, nor does he turn away in disgust. Instead, even when cries for help go unheeded by others, God hears and responds to the afflicted, offering comfort and support.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

My praise shall be of thee -That is, I will praise thee. I will call to remembrance thy goodness, and will unite with others in celebrating thy faithfulness and lovingkindness. In the great congregation -See the notes atPsalms 22:27. I will pay my vows before them that fear him -In the presence of his worshippers. That is, he would keep the vows which in his afflictions he had made, that he would praise and serve God. These vows or promises were of the nature of a “debt” which he says he would remember to pay.
