Psalm 22 points to our Lord’s grace in dying for us, and Psalm 23 explains His goodness in caring for us. This psalm reveals His glory in coming for us.
Glory in creation (1–2). These verses remind you of Psalms 8 and 19. The world today is in travail because of sin, but the Creator will one day set His creation free (Rom. 8:18–23).
Glory in salvation (3–6). Psalm 15 is a parallel, and both passages emphasize the fact that nobody but the Lord Jesus Christ can meet God’s qualifications to live in His holy palace. We are all like Jacob, but He is “the God of Jacob” (Ps. 46:7) and will forgive us and let us live with Him forever!
Glory in the kingdom (7–10). These verses may originally have celebrated David’s return to Jerusalem from a great victory, but they speak to us of our King of glory. When He rode into Jerusalem, Jesus came in humility and tears (Luke 19:29–44); but when He comes again, it will be in power and great glory (Matt. 24:29ff.).
