Whether the inscription which speaks of David as author is correct, or whether (from the difficulty of discovering any period in David's history to which the expressions used can apply) we consider the Psalm to have been written after the Captivity, there can be no doubt of its Messianic character. Some would class this Psalm with Psalms 110 (see Note on <a href="/hebrews/1-13.htm" title="But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?">Hebrews 1:13</a>), as simply and directly prophetic, having no historic foreground; but the language of some of the verses is so definite and peculiar that we must certainly regard it as descriptive of actual experience, and must rather regard the Psalm (comp. <a href="/context/hebrews/1-8.htm" title="But to the Son he said, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.">Hebrews 1:8-9</a>) as typically prophetic of Christ. Each division of this verse is in point as a quotation. (1) Those to whom the Messiah will declare God's name He speaks of as "brethren;" (2) not alone, but in the "church" (or rather, in a <span class= "ital">congregation</span> of God's people; see <a href="/psalms/22-22.htm" title="I will declare your name to my brothers: in the middle of the congregation will I praise you.">Psalm 22:22</a>) will He sing the praise of God. The latter thought--community with men, as attested by a like relation to God--is brought out with still greater prominence in <a href="/hebrews/2-13.htm" title="And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God has given me.">Hebrews 2:13</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hebrews/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 12.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will declare thy Name unto my brethren, in the midst of the Church</span> (or, <span class="accented">congregation</span>) <span class="accented"><span class="cmt_word"></span>will I sing praise unto thee</span>. This first citation is from <a href="/psalms/22-22.htm">Psalm 22:22</a>, quoted, it would seem, from memory or from a text of the LXX. different from ours, <span class="greek">διηγήσομαι</span> being changed to <span class="greek">ἀπαγγελῶ</span>, but with no difference of meaning. The psalm is attributed by tradition to David, being entitled "a psalm of David." Delitzsch and Ebrard accept it as certainly his, concluding, from its position in the first book of the psalms (1-72.), that it was included in the collection made by David himself (cf. <a href="/2_chronicles/23-18.htm">2 Chronicles 23:18</a> with <a href="/psalms/72-20.htm">Psalm 72:20</a>). Others, as recently Perowne, think that the fact of the suffering and humiliation described, being beyond any experienced by David himself, points to some other unknown author. The conclusion, however, does not necessarily follow. David, writing "<span class="accented">in</span> Spirit," when under persecution by Saul, may be conceived as drawing a picture, with regard both to present humiliation and to expected triumph, beyond the facts of his own case, taking his own experience as typical of a higher fulfillment. And the minute details of the suffering described, answering so remarkably to the circumstances of the Crucifixion, certainly suggest the idea of a distinct prophetic vision. Still, there is no reason for concluding that the psalm was not, like other Messianic psalms, suggested by and founded on the writer's own circumstances and experience. Detitzsch says well, "The way of sorrows by which David mounted to his earthly throne was a type of that <span class="accented">Via Dolorosa</span> by which Jesus, <span class="accented">the Son of David</span>, passed before ascending to the right hand of the Father." There is no psalm of which the ultimate Messianic reference is to Christian believers more undoubted. The first words of it were uttered by Jesus himself from the cross (<a href="/matthew/27-46.htm">Matthew 27:46</a>); and for its fulfillment in him, recognized by the evangelists, see <a href="/matthew/27-39.htm">Matthew 27:39, 43</a>; <a href="/john/19-23.htm">John 19:23, 28</a>. The general purport of the psalm is as follows: A persecuted sufferer, under a feeling of being forsaken by God, pours out his complaint, and prays for succor; suddenly, at the end of ver. 21, the tone of the psalm changes into one of confident anticipation of deliverance and triumph, when the psalmist shall praise the Lord in the congregation of his brethren, when all that fear the Lord shall join him in praise, when the "ends of the earth" shall turn to the Lord, and "all the families of the nations" shall worship with Israel. The close agreement of the latter part of the psalm with the Messianic anticipations of prophecy is obvious, and would in itself determine its Messianic import. The marked difference between this psalm and those previously quoted is that the typical psalmist appears here as a human sufferer previously to his triumph, thus anticipating the similar view of the Messiah in prophecy, as notably in Isaiah lilt. And hence this psalm is suitably quoted here as a striking and early anticipation of a Messiah "perfected through sufferings," and associated in sympathy with human "brethren," the verse actually quoted, in which "<span class="accented">he</span> is not ashamed to call them <span class="accented">brethren</span>," being sufficient to remind the readers of the whole of this aspect of Messianic prophecy. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hebrews/2-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">He says:</span><br /><span class="grk">λέγων</span> <span class="translit">(legōn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3004.htm">Strong's 3004: </a> </span><span class="str2">(a) I say, speak; I mean, mention, tell, (b) I call, name, especially in the pass., (c) I tell, command. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">“I will proclaim</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἀπαγγελῶ</span> <span class="translit">(Apangelō)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Future Indicative Active - 1st Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_518.htm">Strong's 518: </a> </span><span class="str2">To report (from one place to another), bring a report, announce, declare.
