John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

The Ps. has two sections, in the first of which (Psalms 22:1-21) the writer earnestly seeks God’s help in a time of extreme trouble, while in the second (Psalms 22:22-31) he breaks into a song of thanksgiving and praise. The trouble is caused by strong and relentless enemies who scorn his trust in God, and persistently threaten his life. The thanksgiving is remarkable for its anticipation of the worldwide acknowledgment of God that is to follow the Psalmist’s deliverance. The last-named fact... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 22:3

(3) But.—In spite of his seeming desertion the poet still believes Jehovah is the God of the covenant—still the Holy One in whom His people could trust.The phrase “inhabiting the praises of Israel,” recalls the more usual “thou that dwellest between the cherubims” (1 Samuel 4:4; 2 Samuel 6:2; Psalms 80:1; Psalms 99:1, where see Note). But the idea here is more spiritual. The ever-ascending praises of His people become a throne for the Divine King, and take the place of the outstretched wings of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 22:1-31

The Future of the Christian Church Psalms 22:27 What is to be the future of the Church of Christ on earth? Is the kingdom of God advancing and still to advance? Often it seems to the faithful that they are in presence of a standstill, or even of a retrogression. They are tried, strained, surprised at the slow victories of faith. It seems as if the Gospel were slighted, put aside, failing of its full effect Sometimes they have days of glorious triumph, but often the heart sinks before the... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:1-31WHO 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 whose prophecies and history there are many points of connection. The most recent... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 22:0 The Sufferings of Christ and the Glory That Follows 1. The suffering (Psalms 22:1-21 ) 2. The glory (Psalms 22:22-31 ) Psalms 22:1-21 . In many respects this Psalm is the most remarkable in the entire book and one of the sublimest prophecies in the whole Bible. The sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow are here wonderfully foretold. The inscription mentions A yeleth Shahar, which means “the hind of the morning.” Jewish tradition identifies this hind with the... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 22:3

22:3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the {c} praises of Israel.(c) He means the place of praising, even the tabernacle or else it is so called, because he gave the people continuous opportunity to praise him. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

Psalms 18:0 A song of victory. It opens with ejaculatory expressions of triumph for deliverance. All nature is described as convulsed when the Almighty presses to the rescue. The next division is meditation on the principles involved, the whole closing with a further outburst of triumph and confidence. 2 Samuel 22:0 is a copy of this ode saying a few variations, and the student is referred to our treatment of it at that place. Psalms 19:0 God’s revelation in the world and in the Word. We have a... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 22:3

This is a sweet verse. Jesus proclaimeth the holiness of God the Father in the midst of his sufferings. As the sinner's surety, he bore the whole weight of sin, and the punishment due to it, Oh! how precious is the holiness of God, beheld in this point of view! It is a glorious part of Jehovah's character, that he will by no means clear the guilty, Exodus 34:7 . And rather than this holiness of God shall be slighted, the Surety shall suffer, shall die. Reader, do you enter into the precious... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 22:3

Converted. Protestants, "restoreth my soul" (Haydock) to her former tranquility, or bringeth me back from my wanderings. (Berthier) --- Justice. Those who have received baptism, must observe the law of Christ, (Worthington) as all indeed are bound to do. (Haydock) --- Sake. Not on account of man's deserving (Calmet) by the force of nature. God must begin and carry on the work of our conversion, by his grace; with which we must co-operate. (Haydock) --- The captives had been in the greatest... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-10

1-10 The Spirit of Christ, which was in the prophets, testifies in this psalm, clearly and fully, the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. We have a sorrowful complaint of God's withdrawings. This may be applied to any child of God, pressed down, overwhelmed with grief and terror. Spiritual desertions are the saints' sorest afflictions; but even their complaint of these burdens is a sign of spiritual life, and spiritual senses exercised. To cry our, My God, why am I sick? why... read more
