Psalms 22:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 22:1

The Suffering, Praise, and Posterity of the Messiah

To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Deer of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David.

1 My ^aGod, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?

2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy,
Enthroned in the ^apraises of Israel.

4 Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
^aThey trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

Psalm 22:1-3

God is in heaven. God oversees everything. God is perfect. God is pure in His thinking. And what we have to come to understand is that everything within God's purpose for us as individuals is going to be worked out considering the whole purpose that He is working out, not just what it is that we need at the moment. In the case of His own Son, He would not intervene, even though He was absolutely innocent, because going through that kind of a death was essential to the whole purpose.

We can see here that Christ Himself had His faith stretched. "Why have You forsaken Me?" But in this case, Christ's faith did not break as ours so frequently does.
