In the ancient Near Eastern context, poverty was widespread, and the promise of sustenance was a significant assurance of God's faithfulness. The imagery of eating and being satisfied is reminiscent of the manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16), symbolizing God's provision. It also foreshadows the messianic banquet, a theme found in <a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6</a>, where God prepares a feast for all peoples. This phrase can be seen as a type of Christ, who declared Himself the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), offering spiritual nourishment and satisfaction to all who come to Him.<p><b>those who seek the LORD will praise Him.</b><br>Seeking the LORD is a central tenet of faith, emphasizing a relationship with God characterized by trust and devotion. In the historical context of Israel, seeking God often involved prayer, worship, and adherence to His commandments. This phrase suggests that those who earnestly pursue God will naturally respond with praise, acknowledging His goodness and faithfulness. It connects to the broader biblical narrative where seeking God leads to finding Him and experiencing His blessings (<a href="/jeremiah/29-13.htm">Jeremiah 29:13</a>). This pursuit is fulfilled in Christ, who invites all to seek and find rest in Him (<a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a>).<p><b>May your hearts live forever!</b><br>This blessing speaks to the eternal life promised to those who are in right relationship with God. In the cultural context of the psalmist, the heart was seen as the center of one's being, encompassing emotions, will, and intellect. The wish for hearts to live forever points to a hope beyond temporal existence, aligning with the biblical promise of eternal life found in the New Testament (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>). This phrase can be seen as prophetic, pointing to the resurrection and eternal life offered through Jesus Christ, who conquered death and offers eternal life to all believers (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54-57</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_poor.htm">The Poor</a></b><br>Refers to those who are humble and needy, both physically and spiritually.

But such sudden changes of person are common in Hebrew; see even next verse. The feast that was made after a great sacrifice, such as <a href="/2_chronicles/7-5.htm" title="And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.">2Chronicles 7:5</a>, not improbably suggested the figure of the banquet at which all the restored of Israel should meet; afterwards elaborated in the prophets (comp. <a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm" title="And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.">Isaiah 25:6</a>), and adopted in its refined spiritual sense by our Lord (<a href="/luke/14-16.htm" title="Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:">Luke 14:16</a>).<p>The prophetic glance reaches further than the immediate occasion, and in the sufferer's triumphant sense of vindication and restoration he embraces the whole world. (Comp. <a href="/jeremiah/16-19.htm" title="O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.">Jeremiah 16:19</a>.) The interposition of Divine judgment in favour of Israel will warn the nations into sudden recollection of Him, and bring them submissive to His throne.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 26.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The meek shall eat and be satisfied</span>.
