Salmos 22:3 NTV

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 22:1-21

The Messiah in His Great Passion. A Prophecy of the Messiah's Suffering. To the chief musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, that is, "Of the hind of the dawn," a psalm of David. The words "Of the hind of the dawn" refer either to the melody or chant according to which this psalm was to be rendered, or they summarize the contents. As the hind is the emblem of the hunted soul panting for deliverance, so the dawn pictures the deliverance which follows the dark night of misery and wretchedness. In the... read more

Psalms 22:0To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou nearest not;And in the night season, and am not silent.3 But thou art holy,O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.4 Our fathers trusted in thee:They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:They... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 22:1-15

the Cry of the Forsaken Psalms 22:1-15 The Hebrew inscription of this exquisite ode is, “The hind of the morning.” The hind is the emblem of loveliness; see Song of Solomon 2:7 ; Song of Solomon 2:9 . The cruel persecutors are designated as bulls, lions, and dogs. Perhaps the allusion to the morning refers to the daybreak of resurrection-hope. Of course our blessed Lord is in every syllable. Indeed, the psalm reads more as history than as prophecy. The divine Sufferer seems to have recited... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

Whatever may have been the local conditions creating this psalm, it has become so perfectly and properly associated with the one Son of God that it is almost impossible to read it in any other way. This and the two following psalms constitute a triptych of tablets on which are written the story of the Christ in His work as Saviour, Shepherd, and Sovereign. As to this first, seeing that in the supreme mystery of the Passion Jesus quoted the first words, we are justified in reading it in the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-10

A Cry Of Despair From The Heart, From One Who Yet Hopes In God (Psalms 22:1-10 ). Psalms 22:1 ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring (groaning)?’ God is here spoken of as El, (Eli, Eli - my God, my God - in the Aramaic Eloi or Eli). In context it should be recognised that this is not a total cry of despair, for hope is shortly expressed in God. But it is certainly an indication of the deep distress of the speaker. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:3-5

‘But You are holy, O You Who inhabits the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You. They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered. They trusted in You, and were not put to shame.’ At no stage did Jesus lose confidence in the Father as the Deliverer of Israel. Even on the cross He could declare God’s faithfulness to His people, despite the fact that He Himself was unheard. For God was surrounded by the praises of Israel because of what He had done for them.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 22:1-31

XXII. This Ps. (p. 372) consists of two parts. In Psalms 22:1-Ecclesiastes : a godly man in deep and manifold distress complains that the God of his fathers, the God who has been with him from the beginning, has deserted him (see p. 372). Psalms 22:22-Obadiah : is a liturgical addition: it expresses the pious Israelite’ s gratitude for Israel’ s glory, which is to be acknowledged even by the heathen. No attempt is made to bridge the gulf between the despair of Psalms 22:1-Ecclesiastes : and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 22:3

Thou art holy, i. e just and true in all thy ways, and therefore hearing prayers, and keeping thy covenant; a true lover of holiness, and of all holy men. This he adds, either, 1. To aggravate his misery, that such a God should neglect and forsake him. Or rather, 2. To strengthen his faith, and to enforce his prayers, and prevail with God, for the honour of his holy name, to hear and help him. That inhabitest the praises of Israel; either, 1. That dwellest in thy tabernacle and ark, which is... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 22:1-31

INTRODUCTION“The subject of this psalm is the deliverance of a righteous sufferer from his enemies, and the effect of this deliverance on others. It is so framed as to be applied without violence to any case belonging to the class described, yet so that it was fully verified only in Christ, the Head and Representative of the class in question. The immediate speaker in the psalm is an ideal person, the righteous servant of Jehovah, but his words may, to a certain extent, be appropriated by any... read more
