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














All the ends of the earth
This phrase emphasizes the universal scope of God's dominion and the reach of His salvation. In Hebrew, "ends of the earth" (אֶפְסֵי־אָרֶץ, "epsei aretz") suggests the farthest corners of the world, indicating that God's plan of redemption is not limited to Israel but extends to all nations. This reflects the Abrahamic promise that through his seed, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). Historically, this phrase would have been radical, as Israel was often seen as God's chosen people. Yet, it prophetically points to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) and the spread of the Gospel to Gentiles, fulfilling God's desire for all humanity to know Him.

will remember
The act of remembering in Hebrew (זָכַר, "zakar") is more than recalling; it involves a conscious turning of the mind and heart towards God. This implies a spiritual awakening or revival among the nations, where they become aware of God's mighty acts and His sovereignty. In the biblical context, remembering often leads to action, such as repentance or worship. This suggests a future time when the nations will acknowledge God's past deeds and respond in faith and obedience.

and turn to the LORD
The Hebrew word for "turn" (שׁוּב, "shuv") is often used in the context of repentance, meaning to return or to come back. This indicates a transformative change of direction, where the nations abandon their idols and false gods to worship the one true God. Theologically, this turning is a work of God's grace, drawing people to Himself. It echoes the prophetic vision of a time when every knee will bow and every tongue confess allegiance to God (Isaiah 45:22-23, Philippians 2:10-11).

and all the families of the nations
This phrase underscores the inclusivity of God's salvation plan. "Families of the nations" (מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִם, "mishpechot goyim") refers to all ethnic groups and peoples. It highlights the diversity within God's kingdom and His desire for a multi-ethnic family united in worship. This aligns with the vision in Revelation 7:9, where a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language stands before the throne of God, worshiping Him.

will bow down before Him
Bowing down (חָוָה, "chavah") is an act of worship and submission, acknowledging God's supreme authority and majesty. In ancient Near Eastern culture, bowing was a sign of respect and homage to a king. Here, it signifies the ultimate recognition of God's kingship by all peoples. This prophetic vision anticipates the eschatological fulfillment when Christ reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords, and all creation acknowledges His lordship. It is a call to worship and a reminder of the hope that one day, God's glory will be fully revealed and acknowledged by all.

Verse 27. - All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord. The Gentiles from every quarter shall come into the new kingdom, remembering him whom they had so long forgotten, Jehovah, the true God. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. Pleonastic. A repetition of the idea contained in the preceding clause. (For the fulfilment, the history of missions must be consulted.)
