Psalms 22:22BSB
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
From passion psalm quoted by Jesus on cross. Demonstrates Christ's solidarity with believers ("brothers"). Turning point in Psalm 22 from suffering to victory parallels Christ's vindication through resurrection. Reinforces incarnation theme—Christ proclaims God's name and sings His praises "in the assembly" (ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας). The movement from Christ's cry of dereliction (Ps 22:1) to praise in the congregation (22:22) becomes paradigmatic for the believer's journey through suffering to glorification with Christ.
▸ My God My God Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me
Prosopological Shift: Speaker (David emerging from his suffering → the risen Jesus); Auditor (David's brothers in the congregation → Christ's redeemed brothers). David's first-person vow to praise God among his brothers becomes Christ's own declaration of solidarity with his people on the basis of shared suffering and shared worship.
