诗篇 22:20-21 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:21

Save me from the lion's mouth (comp. Psalms 22:13 ). Either the chief persecutors, viewed as a class, or Satan, their instigator, would seem to be intended. For thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns; rather, even from the horns of the win oxen hast thou heard me. The conviction suddenly comes to the Sufferer that he is heard. Still, the adversaries are round about him—the "dogs," the "lions," and the "strong bulls of Bashan," now showing as ferocious wild cattle, menacing... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:20

Deliver my soul from the sword - The word soul here means life, and denotes a living person. It is equivalent to “deliver me.” “The sword” is used to denote an instrument of death, or anything that pierces like a sword. Compare 2 Samuel 11:24-25. As applied to the Saviour here, it may mean those extreme mental sufferings that were like the piercing of a sword.My darling - Margin, “my only one.” Prof. Alexander, “my lonely one.” DeWette, my life. The Hebrew word - יחיד yâchı̂yd - means “one... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:21

Save me from the lion’s mouth - His enemies represented as fierce and ravening lions, compare Psalms 22:13,For thou hast heard me - The word “heard” in this place is equivalent to “saved” - or saved in answer to prayer. The fact of “hearing” the prayer, and answering it, is regarded as so identical, or the one as so certainly following from the other, that they may be spoken of as the same thing.From the horns of the unicorns - The idea here is, that he cried to God when exposed to what is here... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:17-21

Psalms 22:17-21. I may tell all my bones Theodoret observes, that when Christ was extended, and his limbs distorted, on the cross, it might be easy for a spectator literally to tell all his bones. They Namely, my enemies; look and stare at me With delight and complacency, at my calamities, and I am a spectacle to earth and heaven. They part my garments among them This also cannot be applied to David, without a strained and unprecedented metaphor, but was literally fulfilled in Christ,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:0 Suffering and salvationAt the time of the writing of this psalm, David had reached what he thought was the farthest extreme of suffering. He was almost at the point of despair. Christians know that they are required to share the sufferings of Christ (Colossians 1:24), but David was probably unaware that, in the experiences recorded here, he was also having a share in those sufferings. His experiences were a foretaste of the greater sufferings that the messianic king Jesus would one... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:20-21

Psalms 22:20-21. Deliver my soul, &c.— Bishop Hare observes, that in these two verses the Psalmist recapitulates the four things that he had before mentioned, and to which he had compared his enemies; the sword, the lion, the dogs, the unicorns, [the oryx or buffalo] substituted instead of bulls; and he intreats the Lord to deliver him from them all. Instead of, my darling from the power of the dog, the Arabic reads, and from the hand or power of the dog, which has seized me. Houbigant and... read more
