Psalms 22:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 22:15

13 ^aThey¹ gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,
^aAnd all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted¹ within Me.

15 ^aMy strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^bMy tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
^aThey¹ pierced My hands and My feet;

17 I can count all My bones.
^aThey look and stare at Me.

18 ^aThey divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.

19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20 Deliver Me from the sword,
^aMy¹ precious life from the power of the dog.

21 ^aSave Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!
^bYou have answered Me.

22 ^aI will declare Your name to ^bMy brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23 ^aYou who fear the Lord, praise Him!
All you¹ descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But ^awhen He cried to Him, He heard.

25 ^aMy praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
^bI will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!

27 All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the families of the¹ nations
Shall worship before¹ You.

28 ^aFor the kingdom is the Lord’s,
And He rules over the nations.
