INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 22 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, a Psalm of David.

For the kingdom [is] the Lord's,.... Not the kingdom of nature and providence, though that is the Lord Christ's; but the kingdom of grace, the mediatorial kingdom: this was Christ's by the designation and constitution of his Father from eternity; the government of the church was always upon his shoulders during the Old Testament dispensation; when he came into this world, he came as a King;...
