Psalm 22 is a poem that expresses the suffering and anguish of the psalmist in the face of the adversities of life. He begins with the words "God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and continues to describe the physical and emotional pain he is facing. The following verses are examples of biblical passages that relate to the topics covered in Psalm 22:
Isaiah 53:3: "He was despised and the most rejected among men; man of pain and who knows what it is to suffer; and, as one of whom men hide the face, was despised, and we did not make a case." This verse talks about the Messiah suffering and being rejected by men, which is an image that is often associated with the suffering described in Psalm 22.
Psalm 69:20: "The reproach broke my heart, and I am sick; I waited for pity, but debalde; by comforters, and I didn't find them." This verse talks about the loneliness and pain that the psalmist feels, and these feelings are expressed similarly in Psalm 22.
Lamentations 1:12: "Do not move you this, all who pass the way? Answering and see if there is pain like my pain, which was brought upon me, with which the Lord afflicted me on the day of the wrath of his wrath." This verse also expresses the pain and affliction of suffering, which is a common theme throughout Psalm 22.
Matthew 27:46: "Around the ninth hour, he cried Jesus in a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lemá Sabactani; What does it mean: God, God, why have you forsaken me?" This verse is a direct quote from the beginning of Psalm 22 and is often associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 5:7-8: "In the days of his flesh, he offered, with strong cry and tears, prayers and supplications to those who could rid him of death and was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience for things you have suffered. " This verse talks about Christ's obedience to suffering, which is a central theme in Psalm 22.
