They shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. See what solace Christ derives from the spread of the faith, the conquest of the world by his death.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: Even in the time of his great agony, our Lord was thinking of you hidden ones, you little ones, who think yourselves worth nothing. Christ says that he was finding bread for you, for he gives us his flesh to eat, that flesh which is meat indeed. Psa_22:26. They shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart...
Your heart shall live for ever. “I die, but by my death you shall live for ever.” He sees them, as it were gathered around his cross, and he congratulates himself upon the fact that he has bought eternal life for them.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord,.... That is, all the elect of God among the Gentiles, who live in the farthermost parts of the world, for whom Christ is appointed to be their salvation, and whom he calls to look to him for it; these shall remember the Lord whom they have forgotten, and against whom they have...
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. He sees the result of his death; he beholds the fruit of his soul-travail; and his heart is glad within him.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. The conversion of the nations shall be the fruit of his death.
For the kingdom [is] the Lord's,.... Not the kingdom of nature and providence, though that is the Lord Christ's; but the kingdom of grace, the mediatorial kingdom: this was Christ's by the designation and constitution of his Father from eternity; the government of the church was always upon his shoulders during the Old Testament dispensation; when...
For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations. See how he distributes crowns, and talks of thrones, just as he is about to die,-so sure is he that his soul shall not rest in hades, neither shall his holy body see corruption, but that he shall rise again, and be for ever “King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
All [they that be] fat upon earth,.... Rich men, who abound in worldly substance, are in very flourishing and prosperous circumstances, of whom for the most part this is literally true; yea, by these sometimes are meant princes, rulers, the chief among the people in power and authority, as well as in riches; see Psalms 78:31; the phrase may design...

A seed shall serve him,.... That is, Christ shall always have a seed to serve him in every age; a remnant according to the election of grace; see Romans 9:29; so that as the former verses speak of the amplitude of Christ's kingdom, through the calling of the Gentiles, these words and the following express the duration of it: and this "seed" either...
It shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, How he rolls it like a sweet morsel under his tongue! “They shall come.” Those great sinners, those far-off ones, “they shall come,”-
They shall come,.... One generation after another; there shall always be a succession of regenerate persons, who shall come to Christ, and to his churches; and a succession of Gospel ministers among them, who shall come forth, being sent and qualified by Christ; and shall declare his righteousness, either the faithfulness of God, in fulfilling his...
And shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. Or, “It is finished.” There the Psalm endeth, and that was the Master’s dying cry.
They shall come, — The passion of Christ shall work for a certain deliverance for his people; what he has purchased, he shall surely have: “They shall come,” — Psa_22:31. And shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. Or, “it is finished.” When our Lord had uttered these words, “he bowed his head, and...
And shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, He sees the great host of the regenerate, the twice-born, who shall be saved through his death. Psa_22:31. That he hath done this. It would be a very literal translation if I read these last words thus “It is finished.” Thus the Psalm ends, and so ended the great sacrifice of...
