Psalms 22:24
22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
25 My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
