Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Think of our Divine Lord thus taking the very lowest place, and becoming, as it were, something less than man, —...

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man: a reproach of men, and despised of the people. How low did Christ descend for our sakes not only low as man, but lower still! Never was godly man forsaken of...

They cried unto thee, and were delivered,.... As the Israelites did in Egyptian bondage, and as they in later times did when in distress; see Exodus 2:23; c. The crying is to be understood of prayer to God, and sometimes designs mental prayer, sighing, and groaning, which cannot be uttered, when no voice is heard, as in Moses, Exodus 14:15 but...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
But I [am] a worm, and no man,.... Christ calls himself a worm, not because of his original, for he was not of the earth earthy, but was the Lord from heaven; nor because of his human nature, man being a worm, and the Son of Man such, Job 25:6; and because of his meanness and low estate in that nature, in his humiliation; nor to express his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. There is a little red worm which seems to be nothing else but blood when it is crushed, it seems all gone except a blood-stain; and the Saviour, in the deep humiliation of his spirit, compares himself to that little red worm. How true it is that “he made himself of no...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
A reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, he trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. What scorn! How it must have entered like vitriol into the veins of Christ, a strong corrosive of dreadful...

A reproach of men, and despised of the people. They would not let him be numbered with them; they accounted him as an offcast and an outcast.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
All they that see me laugh me to scorn,.... To the afflicted pity should be shown; but instead or pitying him in his distresses they laughed at him; this must be understood of the soldiers when they had him in Pilate's hall, and of the Jews in general when he hung upon the cross; some particular persons must be excepted, as John the beloved...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Or, as the passage is quoted in Matthew, “Let him deliver him now, if he will have him.”

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him, let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Was not this just what they said at the cross? Ah, little did they know that he saved others; himself he could not save, because a matchless love held his...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
He trusted on the Lord, [that] he would deliver him,.... Not that they spoke in a deriding way of the object of his trust, for, as impious as they were, this they did not do; but of his trust in the Lord, which they looked upon to be a false one, as would appear by his not being delivered, as he trusted; but his confidence was a well grounded one,...
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb,.... The Papists affirm, that there was something miraculous in the manner of Christ's coming into the world, as well as in his conception; that his conception of a virgin was miraculous is certain, being entirely owing to the wonderful and mysterious overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and which was...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. This is a very wonderful thing. I do not think we remember as we ought that, for years after our birth, we could do nothing to help ourselves, yet we were taken care of even then. He who has passed safely through his infancy need not be...

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
