Significance

Psalm 22:26 promises that "the poor will eat and be satisfied" (יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ, yokhelu anavim veyisba'u), a vow made in the context of thanksgiving after deliverance from suffering. Isaiah 25:6 transforms this individual worshiper's feast into a cosmic banquet "for all the peoples" on God's mountain. The Psalm's movement from lament to praise culminates in a meal of satisfaction; Isaiah escalates that satisfaction into an eschatological feast of "aged wine" and "choice meat" for all nations. Both passages connect feasting before God to the universalization of praise — Psalm 22:27 envisions "all the ends of the earth" turning to the LORD, just as Isaiah 25:6 expands the guest list beyond Israel.
