Beginning with verse 19 in Psalm 22, David expressed more hopeful feelings. Verses 19–31 are like a prayer, but they contain important truths. Choose something in verses 24–31 that explains why we would “declare” (v. 22), “praise” (vv. 22–23), “glorify” (v. 23), or “fear” (v. 23) the Savior for suffering in the way described in verses 1–18.
