Chapter 22

1

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34

2

O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest 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 trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
despised Matt 8:20, John 1:10,11

7

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
scorn Psa 109:25, Matt 27:39

8

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
trusted Matt 27:43

9

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

10

I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

11

Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

13

They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Zech 12:10 John 19:37

17

I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Matt 27:35, John 19:24

19

But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20

Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

21

Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22

I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Heb 2:12

23

Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
afflicted Isa 61:1 Matt 11:5 Luke 4:18 James 2:5

25

My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28

For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.

29

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30

A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

31

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
