Psalm 22

It begins with the words Jesus cried from the cross: "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46, where He speaks it in Aramaic). This is real abandonment-feeling, mockery, bones out of joint, a tongue stuck to the mouth, garments divided by lot, all of which the Gospels saw fulfilled at the crucifixion. Then in verse 21 it turns, "You have answered me!", and the end widens to the poor eating and every nation turning to the LORD. The psalm holds both: it doesn't skip the forsakenness to get to the praise.

"For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help." (Psalm 22:24)

Versions/Hebrew: 22:16 "they have pierced my hands and feet." The Masoretic (WLC) text as pointed reads ka'ari, "like a lion, my hands and feet"; the Greek Septuagint and a Dead Sea Scroll fragment read a verb ("dug/pierced"). The OSHB lemma tags the word as karah [3738], which Strong's defines as to dig or bore; "pierced" is the BSB's rendering. WEB, KJV, and YLT also translate "pierced."
