Psalm 22:9

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 22:9-10

Psalms 22:9-10. Thou art he, &c. This seems to refer to the miraculous conception of Christ, who was the Son of God, in a sense in which no other man ever was, being formed, as to his human nature, by the power of God, in the womb of a pure virgin. Therefore he said, at his entrance into the world, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. Thou didst make me hope Or, trust, that is, Thou didst give me sufficient ground for hope and trust, if I had... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 22:9

"But thou art he that took me out of the womb;Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.I was cast upon thee from the womb;Thou art my God since my mother bare me.Be not far from me; for trouble is near;For there is none to help.""Thou art my God since my mother bare me" (Psalms 22:10). In a sense, this is true of all men, "But of the Holy Child, it was most true (Luke 2:40,49,52)."[8]"Trouble is near; there is none to help" (Psalms 22:11). The agony of death itself was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:9-10

Psalms 22:9-10. But thou art he, &c.— It was by the particular order of his Father that Christ came into the world; and therefore he said at his entrance into it, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: Hebrews 10:5. When I was upon my mother's breasts, evidently relates to the miraculous order which God gave to Joseph and Mary to carry into Egypt the young child Jesus, who as yet hanged upon his mother's breasts, Matthew 2:20-21. I was cast upon thee... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22The mood of this psalm contrasts dramatically with that of Psalms 21. In this one, David felt forsaken by God, and the threats of his enemies lay heavily on his heart. He evidently felt death might be close. He described his condition as facing execution. Nevertheless the Lord answered his prayer for help."No Christian can read this without being vividly confronted with the crucifixion. It is not only a matter of prophecy minutely fulfilled, but of the sufferer’s humility-there is no... read more
