22:1 My God - Who art my friend and father, though now thou frownest upon me. The repetition denotes, the depth of his distress, which made him cry so earnestly. Forsaken - Withdrawn the light of thy countenance, the supports and comforts of thy spirit, and filled me with the terrors of thy wrath: this was in part verified in David, but much more fully in Christ. Roaring - My out - cries forced from me, by my miseries.
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-02-22 08:20:26:
This messianic Psalm tells of the suffering of the Lord Jesus on the cross, as the Father is too holy to look upon our sin, so the Lord cries out my God, my God why have you forsaken me? Thank God that Jesus took our sin upon that tree, and endured the agony, the rejection, so that we could be liberated from the curse of sin. Jesus looked to the day when the government will be upon His shoulders, and all kindred shall come to worship before Him. Praise God He rejoiced to see His seed. One day every eye shall see, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord to the glory of God. These are the scriptures that Jesus said to search, for they testify of Me.
