In biblical times, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's blessing, yet the rich were also warned against pride and self-reliance (<a href="/proverbs/11-28.htm">Proverbs 11:28</a>). The imagery of feasting and worship indicates a celebration and recognition of God's sovereignty. This can be seen as a prophetic vision of the Messianic kingdom where all, regardless of status, will honor God (<a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6-8</a>). The inclusion of the rich highlights the universal scope of God's reign, transcending social and economic barriers.all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— This phrase refers to mortality and the inevitability of death, as "dust" is a common biblical metaphor for the grave (<a href="/genesis/3-19.htm">Genesis 3:19</a>). It emphasizes that all humanity, regardless of status, will ultimately acknowledge God's authority. Kneeling is a posture of submission and reverence, indicating that even in death, God's dominion is recognized. This can be connected to <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10-11</a>, where every knee will bow to Christ. It underscores the theme of God's ultimate victory over death and the universal acknowledgment of His lordship.even those unable to preserve their lives. This part highlights human frailty and the inability to escape death, a common theme in the Psalms (<a href="/psalms/49-7.htm">Psalm 49:7-9</a>). It underscores the idea that all people, regardless of their efforts or status, are subject to God's authority. This can be seen as a humbling reminder of human limitations and the need for reliance on God. In a Messianic context, it points to the hope of resurrection and eternal life through Christ, who conquered death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54-57</a>).

The mention of the "fat upon earth," as included in this feast, seems certainly out of place, and injures the parallelism. We must change the text to either (1) "Shall eat and do homage all earth's mourners," or (2) "Ah! to him shall be bowed all the fat ones of earth."They that go down to the dust--i.e., those on the point to die through their sufferings.And none can keep.--Better, And he who cannot keep his soul alive. Literally, has not kept. But the parallelism shows that this is not spoken of those actually dead, but of those not able from poverty to keep body and soul together.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 29. - All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship. The Christian feast is not for the poor and needy only, like Jewish sacrificial feasts, but for the "fat ones" of the earth as well - the rich and prosperous. As Hengstenberg observes, "This great spiritual feast is not unworthy of the presence even of those who live in the greatest abundance: it contains a costly viand, which all their plenty cannot give - a viand for which even the satisfied are hungry; and, on the other hand, the most needy and most miserable are not excluded" ('Commentary on the Psalms,' vol. 1. p. 396). All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him; i.e. all mortal men what-soever - all that are on their way to the tomb - shall bow before Christ, either willingly as his worshippers, or unwillingly as his conquered enemies, made to lick the dust at his feet. And none can keep alive his own soul. Life is Christ's gift; the soul cannot be kept alive except through him, by his quickening Spirit (<a href="/john/6-53.htm">John 6:53, 63</a>). <a href="/commentaries/psalms/22-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>All כָּֽל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the rich דִּשְׁנֵי־ (diš·nê-) Adjective - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1879.htm">Strong's 1879: </a> Fat, rich, fertile of the earth אֶ֗רֶץ (’e·reṣ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land will feast אָכְל֬וּ (’ā·ḵə·lū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_398.htm">Strong's 398: </a> To eat and worship; וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֨וּ ׀‪‬ (way·yiš·ta·ḥăw·wū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hitpael - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7812.htm">Strong's 7812: </a> To depress, prostrate all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every who go down יוֹרְדֵ֣י (yō·wr·ḏê) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3381.htm">Strong's 3381: </a> To come or go down, descend to the dust עָפָ֑ר (‘ā·p̄ār) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6083.htm">Strong's 6083: </a> Dust, clay, earth, mud will kneel יִ֭כְרְעוּ (yiḵ·rə·‘ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3766.htm">Strong's 3766: </a> To bend the knee, to sink, to prostrate before Him— לְפָנָ֣יו (lə·p̄ā·nāw) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face even those unable לֹ֣א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no to preserve חִיָּֽה׃ (ḥî·yāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2421.htm">Strong's 2421: </a> To live, to revive their lives. וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ (wə·nap̄·šōw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/psalms/22-29.htm">Psalm 22:29 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/psalms/22-29.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 22:29 All the rich ones of the earth (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/22-28.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 22:28"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 22:28" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/22-30.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 22:30"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 22:30" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
