Psalms 22:19

But be not thou far from me, O Lord ,.... See Gill on Psalm 22:11 ;

O my strength ; Christ as God is the mighty God, the Almighty; as Mediator, he is the strength of his people; but, as man, God is his strength; he is the man of his right hand, whom he has made strong for himself, and whom he has promised his arm shall strengthen, Psalm 80:17 ; and therefore he addresses him in this manner here, saying,

haste thee to help me ; his help was alone in God his strength; there were none that could help him but he, and he seemed to stand afar off from helping him, Psalm 22:1 ; and his case being so distressed, as is represented in the preceding verses, it required haste.
