Psalms 22:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 22:16

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.
