· Translation: KJV

Psalms 22:27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

The setting

Jerusalem, ~1000 BC. David, having cried 'My God why have you forsaken me,' now sees a vision of global worship spanning all nations and generations.

The emotion here: overwhelmed by prophetic vision after deep suffering

The original word

zakar (זָכַר) — to remember with action, not just recall but respond and return

Why it matters

This psalm begins with Jesus' words on the cross but ends with universal worship

Read with care

What most readers miss in Psalms 22:27

The word 'remember' implies they once knew God but forgot - this is about return, not first contact

Common misconceptionPeople think this is about converting everyone to Christianity, but 'remember' suggests these nations once knew God and will return to Him - it's about restoration, not evangelism.
