Psalms 22:29

Verse 29

29. Shall eat and worship The idea of the sacrificial feast (see on Psalms 22:25) is resumed; but it is now a spiritual feast, differing from the shelameem in this, that of this gospel feast all classes, without distinction, may partake, not the poor only. See Psalms 22:26.

All… fat upon earth All rich, worldly prosperous, mighty. Deuteronomy 31:20; Psalms 92:14.

All… that go down to the dust A description here of sorrow and poverty. Job 30:19; Psalms 113:7; Isaiah 3:26; Isaiah 47:1.

None can keep alive his own soul Literally, whosoever cannot keep his soul alive, or respite his life from the grave. “A strong expression for extreme destitution. He who was just about to perish is now seen kneeling at the sacrificial feast, in honour of this great salvation.” Alexander.
