Psalm 22:1-4

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

PSALM 22THE GREAT OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECY OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRISTFrom Halley's Bible Handbook, we have the following: "This sounds like a cry of anguish from David, but though written a thousand years before Jesus, it is so vivid a description of the crucifixion of Jesus that one would think of the writer as being personally present at the Cross. Jesus' dying words (Psalms 22:1), the sneers of his enemies (Psalms 22:7-8), the piercing of his hands and feet (Psalms 22:16), and the casting of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 22:3

"But thou art holy.O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.Our fathers trusted in thee:They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.They cried unto thee, and were delivered:They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame."Our Saviour's example in this pleading that God had indeed heard and answered the prayers of "the fathers," is a strong argument that in our own prayers, we should recall and recite in God's presence the occasions upon which he has already heard and answered our petitions. read more

Psalms 22:2. Thou hearest not— St. Paul says, Hebrews 5:7. That Christ was heard in that he feared; but Christ here says, that his father heard him not, only to intimate that he did not dispense him from suffering the death of the cross; for which the father, who heard him always, (John 11:42.) had wise reasons, taken from the end for which his son was incarnate. See John 12:27. The last words may be rendered, And have no rest. read more
