It is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: This was caused by the rough dashing of the cross into the ground when they lifted it up, and plunged it into its place. Psa_22:14.

I am poured out like water,- He feels as if he were being dissolved; there is such a sense of faintness upon him that every muscle, every ligature, seems to be turning to liquid, and he cries, “I am poured out like water,” — Psa_22:14.

It is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd: and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws: and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

Psalms 22:15

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. There was no look of pity, no token of sympathy; they were all eager for his death. The mighty men of the day and the religions men of the day were not content until they had slain the one and only Saviour of men. Psa_22:15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; The wounds...

Psalms 22:15

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; Our Lord was parched with the fever brought on by the terrible anguish and strain upon the hands and feet, which are full of nerves and very tender. A slight wound of the thumb has brought on lockjaw, but what the wounds of the Saviour’s delicate and sensitive body must...

For dogs have compassed me: The many, the vulgar multitude, like a pack of hounds, crowded around the Saviour on the cross. Psa_22:16.

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: These were the common people, the rabble, the multitude that thronged around, barking at him like a pack of hungry hounds. Psa_22:16. They pierced my hands and my feet. This little sentence shows that this Psalm must relate to the Lord Jesus. Truly did David see him in...

Psalms 22:16-17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They had stripped him, and this was no small part of the Saviour’s grief and shame that he hung there a spectacle of scorn to ten thousand cruel eyes that looked and stared at him.

Psalms 22:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And thou hast brought me into the dust of death. He felt as if his very frame was all turning to the dust of which the body is made.
