25My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever! 27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.Cross References

Psalms 22:25 Summary
This verse, Psalms 22:25, is talking about praising God in front of a large group of people and keeping the promises we make to Him. It's like saying, 'I'm going to tell everyone about how great God is, and I'm going to do what I said I would do for Him.' This is important because it shows that we trust and love God, and it can encourage others to do the same, as seen in Hebrews 10:25. By praising God and keeping our promises, we can show our devotion to Him and declare His glory to those around us, just like the psalmist did in Psalms 22:25.

Who is the great assembly mentioned in this verse?

We can apply the concept of fulfilling vows by being mindful of the promises we make to God and to others, and striving to keep them, as seen in Psalms 22:25, and remembering that our yes should be yes and our no should be no, as taught in Matthew 5:37.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 22:25
My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation,.... Or, "my praise is from thee" (o); not that he should have praise of God, as he had, when he was received up into heaven, and set down at
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 22:25
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. My praise shall be of thee - literally, 'My praise shall be from thee,' as the starting-point of praise and its theme.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 22:25
In the great congregation; either in the general assemblies of the Israelites at their solemn feasts; or in the universal church, made up of Jews and Gentiles, as the following verses explain it. My vows, i.e. those praises and services which in my distress I vowed to return unto thee when thou didst deliver me.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 22:25
Psalms 22:25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.Ver. 25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation] Where it may be most public and exemplary. They that neglect public service for private do but read their own indictment, pray their own punishment. I will pay my vows, &c.] My peace offerings vowed in my distress: these are heavily paid by most people, according to that Italian proverb, The danger once escaped, the saint is defrauded. See David’ s care, Psalms 116:1-19. and elsewhere.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 22:25
Verse 25. The great congregation] In Psalms 22:22 he declares that he will praise God in the midst of the congregation. Here the Jews seem to be intended. In this verse he says he will praise him in the GREAT CONGREGATION. Here the Gentiles are probably meant. The Jewish nation was but a small number in comparison of the Gentile world. And those of the former who received the Gospel were very few when compared with those among the Gentiles who received the Divine testimony. The one was (for there is scarcely a converted Jew now) קהל kahal, an assembly; the other was, is, and will be increasingly, קהל רב kahal rab, a GREAT ASSEMBLY. Salvation was of the Jews, it is now of the Gentiles.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 22:25
25. My praise shall be of thee] Rather as R.V., Of thee cometh my praise. From his fellow-worshippers the Psalmist turns to Jehovah, who is not only the object but the source of his praise. “It is the Lord’s doing.” I will pay my vows] Thank-offerings vowed in the time of trouble. Cp. Psalms 66:13, Psalms 116:14; Psalms 116:18.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 22:25
My praise shall be of thee - That is, I will praise thee. I will call to remembrance thy goodness, and will unite with others in celebrating thy faithfulness and lovingkindness.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 22:25
25. The great congregation—The full assembly of the faithful, as at the great national feasts; prophetically, the Church universal or “holy catholic Church.” I will pay my vows—I will pay the
