Psalm 22 Part 1
Scripture
Summary
This psalm is often quoted in the New Testament. In this podcast we are simply seeking to explain it in its OT setting. Lord willing, in the next podcast we will talk about its use in the NT. In this psalm there is a contrast between the "I/me" sections where David explains his crisis and the sections that emphasize "You" as he begs God's help. 22:1-2 Why have You forsaken me? 22:3-5 The LORD has delivered Israel in the past 22:6-8 David is despised and mocked The glorious past only increases his pain in the present 22:9-11 God has been with him constantly and He begs him not to be far away 22
