By praising and honoring God, we show that we know how much He loves us and how much He has done for us, as seen in John 3:16, which says God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 22:23
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him,.... By whom are meant, not the proselytes among the Gentiles, as distinct from the Jews, which is the sense of some Jewish interpreters (n); but all the people of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 22:23
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 22:23
Praise him; partly for my sake, and chiefly for your own benefit received by my deliverance. All ye the seed of Israel: the two universal particles seem to intimate that he speaks not only of the carnal, but also of the spiritual seed; which also is more than probable, by comparing this with ,28.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 22:23
Psalms 22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.Ver. 23. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him] viz. For your redemption by Christ’ s death and resurrection. Neither are any fit for such a purpose but such as fear the Lord. Excellent words become not a fool’ s mouth, saith Solomon; Christ would not suffer the devil to confess him. To be praised by a praiseless person is no praise, saith Seneca. All ye seed of Jacob] i.e. Illi qui diligunt eum. All ye the seed of Israel] Qui timent, sed adhuc non diligunt, saith R. David; but I like not his distinction; for none do truly fear God but those that love him, Hosea 3:5.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 22:23
(23, 24) These verses contain the substance of the poet’s joyful announcement.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 22:23
Verse 23. Ye that fear the Lord] This is an exhortation to the Jews particularly, to profit by the preaching of the Gospel. Perhaps, by them that fear him, the Gentiles, and particularly the proselytes, may be intended. The Jews are mentioned by name: Glorify him, all ye seed of Jacob; fear him, all ye seed of Israel.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 22:23
22–31. Convinced that his prayer is heard, the Psalmist breaks forth with resolutions of public thanksgiving (22–26); and the glorious prospect of Jehovah’s universal kingdom opens up before him (27–31). “Thou answerest not” (Psalms 22:2) is the key-note of Psa 22:1-21; “Thou hast answered me of Psa 22:22-31”. (Cheyne).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 22:23
Ye that fear the Lord - A phrase denoting those who are pious. Praise him - This is language which may be supposed to be addressed by the speaker in the great congregation.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 22:23
23. Ye that fear the Lord—The call is to spiritual Israel. Psalms 22:23-24, as Bishop Lowth suggests, contain the praise song of the preceding verse, which the psalmist now puts into the mouth of the Church.
