Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

XXII. This Ps. (p. 372) consists of two parts. In Psalms 22:1-Ecclesiastes : a godly man in deep and manifold distress complains that the God of his fathers, the God who has been with him from the beginning, has deserted him (see p. 372). Psalms 22:22-Obadiah : is a liturgical addition: it expresses the pious Israelite’ s gratitude for Israel’ s glory, which is to be acknowledged even by the heathen. No attempt is made to bridge the gulf between the despair of Psalms 22:1-Ecclesiastes : and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:7

Laugh me to scorn; instead of pitying or helping, deride me, and insult over me; such is their inhumanity. They shoot out the lip; they gape with their mouths, and put forth their tongues, in mockery. See Job 16:10; Isaiah 57:4. They shake the head; another posture of scoffers. See Job 16:4; Psalms 44:14; Isaiah 37:22. This and the next verse are applied to Christ, Matthew 27:39,Matthew 27:43. Saying: this supplement is very usual, and here it is necessary, because the next words are the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:8

He trusted on the Lord; he rolled himself upon the Lord; where they seem to scoff not only at the thing, but at the expression. Their sense is, He pretended that he did wholly lean, and rest himself, and cast his cares upon God, and quietly and confidently commit all his affairs to his providence, assuring himself of a happy issue from him. That he would deliver him; or, without any supplement, let him deliver him, as it follows, though the Hebrew words be differing. And so the same thing is... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

INTRODUCTION“The subject of this psalm is the deliverance of a righteous sufferer from his enemies, and the effect of this deliverance on others. It is so framed as to be applied without violence to any case belonging to the class described, yet so that it was fully verified only in Christ, the Head and Representative of the class in question. The immediate speaker in the psalm is an ideal person, the righteous servant of Jehovah, but his words may, to a certain extent, be appropriated by any... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Psalms 22:7

All they that see me Psalms 22:0. is a graphic picture of death by crucifixion. The bones (of the hands, arms, shoulders, and pelvis) out of joint (Psalms 22:14) the profuse perspiration caused by intense suffering (v. 14); the action of the heart affected (v .14); strength exhausted, and extreme thirst (Psalms 22:15); the hands and feet pierced (Psalms 22:16) partial nudity with hurt to modesty (Psalms 22:17), are all incidental to that mode of death. The accompanying circumstances are... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:1-31 Psalms 22:1-31 is one of those prophetic psalms which stands out probably among all of the Messianic psalms. This psalm is again a psalm of David, and it is a very graphic description of death by crucifixion. Now, at the time that David wrote this, stoning was the method of capital punishment. Actually, it was almost 1000 years later that crucifixion was introduced by the Romans as a form of capital punishment. So that David would describe death by crucifixion is sort of a... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:1 . My God, my God. The LXX, Ο Θεος ο Θεος μου . The Chaldaic is like the English. The Hebrew forms the superlative degree by repetition. Example: “The heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee.” The Lord called Abraham, Abraham; and again at the bush, Moses, Moses. When the Saviour became our covert, and received the storm of anger against a guilty world, his suffering humanity offered up strong cries and tears to God in these sublime words, Why hast thou forsaken... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:1-31My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?The prophetic image of the Prince of sufferersWho is the sufferer whose wail is the very voice of desolation and despair, and who yet dares to believe that the tale of his sorrow will be a gospel for the world? The usual answers are given. The title ascribes the authorship to David, and is accepted by Delitzsch and others. Hengstenberg and his followers see in the picture the ideal righteous man. Others think of Hezekiah or Jeremiah, with... read more

Joseph Exell

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 22:8

Psalms 22:8He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver him. Faith among mockersDavid experienced “cruel mockings.” The flesh may not be cut, but the heart may be torn. But text tells of the Lord Jesus. David knew reproach but in small measure compared with Him. It is the common heritage of the godly. But--I. Their trust in God is known. Hence we learn--1. Our trust in God should be apparent, manifest, public. That in Christ which revealed it was His wonderful calmness. We ought distinctly to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 22:7

Psa 22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying], Ver. 7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn ] Contemptus populi ludibriis et opprobriis declaratur, Luke 22:63 . The apostle speaketh of cruel mockings, Hebrews 11:36 . The Pharisees, who were covetous, derided him, Luke 16:14 , and set his people on the stage, as it were, for mocking stocks, Hebrews 10:36 .
