Psalms
Chapter
22
{David's
Messianic Psalm about His Greater Son - Jesus Christ}
{Note:
This psalm is dual in nature. David has just seen the consequences
of his reversionism in the ruins of Ziklag (see I Samuel 30:1-6). As
he goes through the pain and anguish of seeing the destruction, he
proclaims words that Jesus Christ will also say on the cross. See
also Acts 2:30}
{Verses
1:21: The Death of Christ}
{Prophesy
of Matthew 27:46 Jesus on the Cross}
1~~To
the chief musician,
concerning
the 'Doe of the Dawn' {ayyeleth ha-shahar}
{a title for the Lord Jesus Christ in His Helplessness on the Cross
A deer hunt begins at the dawn and is a picture of helplessness}
A
psalm of David.
My
God, My God {'El 'El}, why have You forsaken Me?
Far
from deliverance are the words of My screaming.
{Note: 'El is used for God as the Judge - God as the Strong One. RBT says this is separation of God the Father and God the Holy Spirit from Jesus while He was bearing our sins on the cross. So, this is prophecy by empathy. It is also David's suffering in Ziklag when the Amalekites have burned his town and taken his wives and the other women and children.}
{Separation
of Jesus on the Cross from the Godhead While He is Bearing our Sins
in His Body}
2~~
O My 'Elohiym/Godhead,
I
scream/'cry out' by daylight {first three hours on the cross}
You
do not answer Me.
And
by the 'night-season'/'supernatural darkness'
{noon to 3 PM was total darkness while Christ was on the cross}
You
are silent.
3~~You
are Holy {integrity of God - His righteousness and justice},
and
the {worthy} recipient of their praises.
{Back
to David Recalling His Ancestor's Faith was Rewarded by God}
4~~Our
fathers trusted {in You - batach - faith rest technique}.
They
trusted, and You delivered/rescued {palat} them.
{Note: Jesus Christ also knows that God the Father will 'deliver' Him after the imputation and judgement of sins on the cross are complete. Once Jesus says 'It is Finished', His spiritual relationship with God the Father is restored - we know this because now Jesus returns to the relationship word of 'Father' into Your hands I dismiss My Spirit'.}
5~~
They 'shouted out'/cried unto you {prayed},
and
were delivered {malat}.
They
trusted in you,
and
were not 'put to shame'/disappointed {buwsh}.
6~~
But I {David/Jesus in prophesy}
am
a worm {tolah used for 'a totally helpless person'},
and
no longer {look} human
{see also Isaiah 53:10 - Jesus was crushed by the weight of our
sins}.
{Note: Tolah is Hebrew for a caucus elictus worm - this worm was placed in a vat and the worm's blood was used to make crimson robes for kings. Jesus - the King of Kings, Lord of Lords was being crushed under the weight of the sins of the world.}
{Ridicule
of Downtrodden David and Jesus Christ on the Cross}
22:7-8~~
All they who see Me, mock/'laugh in scorn at' Me.
They
gesture insults
{idiom: literally 'thrust out their lips' - we would say 'thumb their
nose at me'}.
They
wag their heads
{a Jewish insult - like 'giving the finger' today} saying, 8~~
"He
'rolled his problems'/trusted on Jehovah/God,
let
Him deliver/rescue Him
since
He keeps on having perfect delight in Him."
{Verses
9-11: God had a Plan for David's Life}
9~~But
You {God} {are}
He
Who took me out of the womb
{means he was born with a purpose for his life}.
You
motivated/caused me to trust/'have confidence'
when
I was upon my mother's breasts.
{Note: David was from a big family. Almost as soon as he was weaned, he was off to the fields to tend to the flocks. That was the end of his family life! }
{Jesus'
Testimony}
10~~I
{Jesus} was caused to be dependent
upon
You {God} from the womb.
You
are my El/God from My mother's womb.
{David
and Jesus Again}
11~~'Be
not far from me'/'do not stay far from me' {rachaq}.
For
trouble . . . {is} near.
No
one . . . helping me.
{Note: David was alone at this point in his life. Jesus had to go to the cross alone. No one could help him carry the sins of the world.}
{Jesus'
Suffering on the Cross}
12~~
Many 'wild bulls with horns' {par} have surrounded Me
{horns goring into His body - represents the sins He is bearing
entering His Body}.
Strong
bulls of Bashan {refers to evil powers}
have
surrounded Me.
{Note: This verse gives the picture of Jesus being surrounded by strong and evil forces/bulls who gored Him many times. Each time a sin was imputed to Him on the cross, it was like another goring of a bull.}
13~~They
{all the sins of the word}
tear
Me to pieces {patsah}
with
their mouths,
as
a ravening and a roaring lion.
14~~
I {Jesus} am poured out {shaphak} like water
{dehydrated on the cross with loss of physical strength},
and
all My bones are pulling apart
{separation of the joints as He is hanging on the cross}.
My
heart/'right lobe' is like wax.
It
is melted in the middle of My bowels/emotions
{nervous system telegraphing pain}.
{Note: This is a picture of Jesus on the cross becoming physically weak. He is dehydrated and His 'mentality' is mixing in with His emotions from all the physical pain of crucifixion and the imputation of sins.}
15~~My
{Jesus} strength is dried up like a broken vessel/pot
{like a shattered vessel all in it is pouring out}.
And
My tongue is swollen and sticks to My jaws.
You
have laid Me in the 'dust of death'
{idiom meaning Jesus realizes He is dying and very near death}.
16~~For
dogs
{derogatory term for gentiles - Roman soldiers here}
have
surrounded Me.
The
assembly of the wicked {religious Jews}
have
encircled Me.
They
have pierced My hands and My feet
{Jesus being nailed to the cross}.
17~~I
{Jesus} can number all My bones.
They
keep glancing at Me and keep on seeing Me.
{Note: Jesus' is naked on the cross. His bones are moving out poking on His skin as He hangs on the cross.}
18~~They
{Roman Soldiers}
part/divide
My garments among them,
and
gambled for My clothes.
{Note: Jesus was well dressed. His clothing was expensive and the Roman soldiers gambled over who would get what.}
19^~'Be
not far from me'/'do not stay far from me' {rachaq}
O
Jehovah/God . . . my strength,
hurry
to my aid.
20``Save/Deliver
My {Jesus'} soul
from
the sword {chereb}.
Your
'uniquely born Son' {yachiyd}
from
the clutches/power of the dog
{Jesus from the Roman soldiers}.
21~~Deliver
me {David/Jesus} from the lion's mouth.
For
You have answered me
from
the horns of the water-buffalo/unicorn {r@'em}.
{Note: The horns of the water buffalo represents painful and certain death - Jesus will not be delivered from physical death, but OUT from physical death forever again in His resurrection body.}
{Verses
22-26: Glorification of Christ}
22~~I
will 'record in writing' {caphar}
concerning
Your Person {God the Father}
unto
my brethren {fellow Jews}.
In
the middle of the assembly
I
will praise You.
{Note: Between Daniel 2 verses 40 and 41 we have 'The Great Parenthesis'. This is the Church Age. It was a mystery to the Old Testament Believers - the time of Judah's 5th cycle of discipline. This also occurs in Daniel 7 between verses 23 and 24; Daniel 9:26 in the middle of the verse; Daniel 11 between verses 35 and 36; Psalms 22 between verses 22 and 23 (here); and Isaiah 61 between 1 and 2.}
23~~Those
of you {SuperGrace types}
who
have respect/fear {yare'} of Jehovah/God,
praise
Him.
All
you the seed of Jacob {every one born in the line of Jacob}
'become
His honor/glorify'.
And
respect Him {occupation with Christ},
all
you the seed of Israel.
{Note: The name Jacob means chiseler. That indicates the condition of every human when they come to the decision about salvation - hopeless and useless.}
{Dual
Principal again - David and Jesus}
24~~For
He has not despised nor abhorred
the
affliction of the afflicted
{God did not ignore the disaster of David or Jesus on the Cross}.
Neither
has He hid His face from him.
But
when he cried unto Him,
He
'heard and concentrated' {shama'} on him.
25~~My
praise shall be of You in the great assembly.
I
will pay my vows before them who respect Him
{idiom meaning David will explain how prosperity returned to him by
the grace of God}.
26~~The
meek/humbled
{`anav - technical for SuperGrace Believers}
shall
eat {spiritual food - the bread of the Word}
and
be satisfied {soul saturated with divine viewpoint}.
They
shall praise Jehovah/God,
they
who constantly seek after {positive volition} Him
{refers to the mature believer constantly seeking more intake of the
Word}.
Let
your 'right lobe'/heart refresh itself forever.
{Verses
27-31: Reign of Jesus Christ - Greater Son of David - Forever and Ever}
27~~All
the ends of the world
shall
remember {recall doctrine resident in the soul}
and
convert/turn the Jehovah/God
{great evangelism of the millennium}.
And
all the families of the nations shall themselves
{an individual thing}
worship
before You.
{Note: David began the Davidic Dynasty. Jesus Christ is the last of the Dynasty and will rule forever and ever.}
28~~For
the kingdom is Jehovah's/God's {Millennial Reign of Christ}.
And
He is the ruler among the nations.
22:29~~All
the prosperous ones {idiom: literally 'all the fat ones'}
upon
earth have eaten
{eaten spiritual food and are reaping prosperity in SuperGrace}
and
keep on worshiping.
All
they that go down to the dust
{including David - David now realizes he must reap what God has
sown}
shall
bow before Him {Jesus Christ}.
And
no one can keep alive his own soul {nephesh}.
30~~A
seed shall serve Him.
It
shall be written {caphar}
about
the Lord/'Adonay to a generation.
{Note: The seed of the woman shall be the enemy of Satan and will bite his heal. That seed is Jesus Christ.}
31~~They
shall come {Super Grace believers in all generations},
and
shall be motivated to relate His righteousness {ts@daqah}
unto
a people that shall be born,
that
'it has been manufactured'/
'it
has been done'/'it has been finished'
{`asah - to make something from something}.
{Note: This phrase is roughly equivalent to the last thing Jesus Christ uttered on the cross before He dismissed His spirit to God the Father - in the Greek 'telelestai in the perfect tense - 'It is finished in the past with results that continue forever and ever' - John 19:30.}
