Psalm 22:24

From Suffering To Praise

²³ You who fear the Lord, praise Him;
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
²⁴ For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
²⁵ From You comes my praise in the great assembly;
I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
