On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In every age there is a remnant of such as these, men of this character, who are accounted to the Lord for a generation, Ps. xxii. And they are such as seek God, that seek they face, O Jacob! [1.] They join themselves to God, to seek him, not only in earnest prayer, but in serious endeavours to obtain his favour and keep themselves in his love.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Jacob--By "Jacob," we may understand God's people (compare Isa 43:22; 44:2, &c.), corresponding to "the generation," as if he had said, "those who seek Thy face are Thy chosen people."
