Psalm 22:5, Psalm 71:1 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 22:1-10

Some think they find Christ in the title of this psalm, upon Aijeleth Shahar?The hind of the morning. Christ is as the swift hind upon the mountains of spices (Song 8:14), as the loving hind and the pleasant roe, to all believers (Prov. 5:19); he giveth goodly words like Naphtali, who is compared to a hind let loose, Gen. 49:21. He is the hind of the morning, marked out by the counsels of God from eternity, to be run down by those dogs that compassed him, Ps. 22:16. But others think it denotes... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:5

They cried unto thee, and were delivered ,.... As the Israelites did in Egyptian bondage, and as they in later times did when in distress; see Exodus 2:23 ; &c.; The crying is to be understood of prayer to God, and sometimes designs mental prayer, sighing, and groaning, which cannot be uttered, when no voice is heard, as in Moses, Exodus 14:15 ; but oftener vocal prayer, put up in times of distress, and denotes the vehemency of trouble, and eagerness of desire to be heard and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:5

They cried unto thee - So do I: They were delivered; so may I: They trusted in thee; I also trust in thee. And were not confounded; and is it likely that I shall be put to confusion? read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-10

The cry of despair struggling with the cry of faith. The writer was' apparently an exile, still in the hands of his heathen captors. His extreme peril, the obloquy and scorn to which he was exposed as a professed worshipper of Jehovah, his imminent death, are touched on with a tenderness and a power which have made the language familiar to us in another application—as used by Christ in the agonies of the cross. It is the cry of despair struggling with the cry of faith. I. THE CRY ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

The psalm is composed, manifestly, of two portions—the complaint and prayer of a sufferer ( Psalms 22:1-21 ), and a song of rejoicing after deliverance ( Psalms 22:22-31 ). According to some critics, the first of these two portions is also itself divided into two parts—each consisting of two strophes ( Psalms 22:1-10 and Psalms 22:12-21 ), which are linked together by a single ejaculatory verse ( Psalms 22:11 ). A further analysis divides each of the three strophes of ten verses... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

From darkness to light; or, the song of the early dawn. This is one of the most wonderful of all the psalms. It has gathered round it the study of expositors of most diverse types—from those who see in it scarcely aught but a description beforehand of the Messiah's suffering and glory, to those who see in it scarcely any Messianic reference at all, and who acknowledge only one sense in which even the term "Messianic" is to be tolerated, even in the fact that light gleams forth after the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

A struggle from the gloom of adversity to peace and joy. It was said among the heathen that a just man struggling with adversity was a sight worthy of the gods. Such a sight we have here. We see a truly just man struggling from the gloomiest depths of adversity upwards to the serene heights of peace and joy in God. Three stages may be marked. I. THE WAIL OF DESERTION . ( Psalms 22:1-10 .) Suffering is no "strange thing." It comes sooner or later to all. Always, and especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 22:5

They cried unto thee, and were delivered. If they were delivered because they cried, the Sufferer who cries "day and night" (vex. 2) can scarcely remain unheard for ever. They trusted in thee, and were not confounded; or, were not put to shame ( οὐ κατησχύνθησαν , LXX .). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:5

They cried unto thee - They offered earnest prayer and supplication.And were delivered - From dangers and trials.They trusted in thee, and were not confounded - They were not disappointed. Literally, “they were not ashamed.” That is, they had not the confusion which those have who are disappointed. The idea in the word is, that when men put their trust in anything and are disappointed, they are conscious of a species of “shame” as if they had been foolish in relying on that which proved to be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:4-5

Psalms 22:4-5. Our fathers, &c. That is, my fathers, according to the flesh, the Israelites; trusted in thee, and were delivered Were not disappointed of that for which they prayed and hoped: but whenever they cried unto thee in their distress, thou didst send them deliverance, as by Gideon, Samson, Samuel, &c. To trust in God is the way to obtain deliverance, and “the former instances of the divine favour are so many arguments why we should hope for the same; but it may not... read more
