Contextual Overview

22 I will tell my people about you. I will praise you in the great assembly. 23 Praise the Lord , all you who worship him! Honor him, you descendants of Jacob! Fear and respect him, all you people of Israel! 24 He does not ignore those who need help. He does not hate them. He does not turn away from them. He listens when they cry for help. 25 Lord, because of you I offer praise in the great assembly. In front of all these worshipers I will do all that I promised. 26 Poor people, come eat and be satisfied. You who have come looking for the Lord , praise him! May your hearts be happy forever. 27 May those in faraway countries remember the Lord and come back to him. May those in distant lands worship him, 28 because the Lord is the King. He rules all nations. 29 The people have eaten all they wanted and bowed down to worship him. Yes, everyone will bow down to him— all who are on the way to the grave, unable to hold on to life. 30 Our descendants will serve him. Those who are not yet born will be told about him. 31 Each generation will tell their children about the good things the Lord has done.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him,.... By whom are meant, not the proselytes among the Gentiles, as distinct from the Jews, which is the sense of some Jewish interpreters n; but all the people of God, whether Jews or Gentiles, who have the grace of filial and godly fear put into their hearts, with which they worship God, and walk before him in all holy conversation; which is not a fear of wrath, or a distrust of divine goodness; but is a reverential affection for God, and is consistent with the greatest degree of faith, the strongest expressions of spiritual joy and holy courage: it includes the whole worship of God, internal and external; and such who have it in their hearts, and before their eyes, are called upon by Christ to praise the Lord for him, for the unspeakable gift of his love; that he has not spared his son, but delivered him up for them, to undergo so much sorrow, and such sufferings as before related, to obtain salvation for them; and that he has delivered him out of them, raised him from the dead, and has given him glory;

all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; not the natural, but spiritual seed of Jacob, who walk in the steps of the faith of that man of God; these are exhorted to glorify the Lord with their bodies and spirits, which are his, being redeemed with the precious blood of Christ; by believing in him, glorying in him, and offering praise unto him;

and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel; who are the same with the seed of Jacob, Jacob and Israel being two names of the same person; and design not Israel according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; the whole Israel of God, the all spiritual seed of Israel, who are justified in Christ, and are saved in him; they are the same with them that fear the Lord, and are here stirred up to exercise the grace of fear upon him; to fear him only, and not men, though ever so mighty and powerful, as before described in Psalms 22:12; and that not only because of his power and greatness; but because of his grace and goodness, as shown forth in Christ Jesus.

n Midrash Tillim, Jarchi & Aben Ezra, in loc.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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 at Psalms 5:7.

All ye the seed of Israel - Another name for Jacob Genesis 32:28, and designed to denote also all who are true worshippers of Yahweh.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 22:23. Ye that fear the Lord — This is an exhortation to the Jews particularly, to profit by the preaching of the Gospel. Perhaps, by them that fear him, the Gentiles, and particularly the proselytes, may be intended. The Jews are mentioned by name: Glorify him, all ye seed of Jacob; fear him, all ye seed of Israel.
