Psalms 22:26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The meek That is, the poor or humble, gentle and teachable, namely, believing and godly persons whose hearts the grace of God hath softened and sweetened, subduing their pride and passion, and their rebellion against God, and fierceness toward men; shall eat and be satisfied Shall partake of those spiritual blessings which God hath provided for them in his gospel, that grace, and peace, and comfort, which all believing souls enjoy, in a sense of God's love, in the pardon of their sins, and in the influences of God's Spirit. Of these and not of any temporal blessings, this clause is doubtless to be understood. They shall praise the Lord that seek him That seek his favour, and the true spiritual knowledge of, and communion with, him. Your heart shall live He speaks of the same persons still, though there be a change from the third to the second person, as is usual in these poetical books. For ever Your comfort shall not be short and transitory, as worldly comforts are, but everlasting.

Psalms 22:26

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
