Psalms 22:18-19

Psalms 22:18-19. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be thou not far from me, O LORD:

That is still the very center of our Saviour’s suffering, so he turns his pleading in that direction. He does not ask that the dogs may be called off, nor that the bulls may be driven away; but his cry is, "Be not thou far from me, O Lord."
