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 22:3

"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

Thomas Constable

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
