Psalm 22
1. David complains in great discouragement
9. He prays in great distress
23. He praises God














My praise for You resounds in the great assembly;
This phrase highlights the public nature of worship and praise in ancient Israel. The "great assembly" refers to the congregation of Israel, often gathered for festivals, sacrifices, or other religious observances at the temple in Jerusalem. This setting underscores the communal aspect of worship, where individual expressions of faith are shared and amplified within the community. The act of praising God in such a setting reflects the psalmist's acknowledgment of God's deliverance and faithfulness, which is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms. This public declaration of praise can be seen as a fulfillment of the call to worship found in other scriptures, such as Psalm 35:18, where the psalmist vows to give thanks in the "great congregation." Theologically, this anticipates the New Testament concept of the church as a body of believers who gather to worship and glorify God collectively, as seen in Hebrews 10:25.

I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
Vows in the Old Testament were solemn promises made to God, often in response to His deliverance or blessing. The fulfillment of vows was a serious commitment, reflecting the integrity and faithfulness of the worshiper. In this context, the psalmist's intention to fulfill vows "before those who fear You" indicates a public demonstration of faithfulness and gratitude. This act serves as a testimony to the community of believers, reinforcing the importance of accountability and witness among those who revere God. The phrase "those who fear You" refers to the faithful, those who live in reverence and awe of God, aligning with the wisdom literature's emphasis on the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). This public fulfillment of vows can also be seen as a type of Christ, who perfectly fulfilled His mission and promises before God and humanity, as seen in John 17:4, where Jesus speaks of completing the work given to Him by the Father.

Persons / Places / Events
1. David
Traditionally attributed as the author of Psalm 22, David is expressing a deep sense of trust and commitment to God, even amidst suffering.

Teaching Points
The Source of Praise
Recognize that true praise originates from God. Our ability to worship and honor Him is a gift that He initiates in our hearts.

Public Declaration of Faith
Understand the importance of declaring our faith and gratitude to God publicly, as a testimony to others and an encouragement to the community of believers.

Commitment to Vows
Reflect on the seriousness of vows made to God. Fulfillment of these vows is an act of worship and obedience, demonstrating our trust and reverence for Him.

Community Worship
Value the role of the assembly in our spiritual lives. Gathering with others who fear God strengthens our faith and provides a platform for shared worship and encouragement.

Fear of the Lord
Cultivate a healthy fear of the Lord, which is foundational to wisdom and leads to a life that honors Him in both private and public spheres.Verse 25. - My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation. The phraseology is that of the Mosaic dispensation, with which alone David was acquainted. But the fulfilment is in those services of praise where, whenever Christ's disciples are gathered together, there is he in the midst of them. I will pay my vows before them that fear him. "Vows," in the strict sense of the word, are scarcely meant; rather "devotions" generally.
