Psalms 22:10

"But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts."

Key Reflection

In Psalm 22:10, the psalmist speaks of God's intimate involvement from conception to early childhood. The original audience would have recognized this as a powerful expression of divine providence and protection, where God is seen not only sustaining life but also fostering trust in infancy—emphasizing a deep, early faith that is rooted in God’s nurturing care.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I was cast upon thee from the womb -Upon thy protection and care. This, too, is an argument for the divine interposition. He had been, as it were, thrown early in life upon the protecting care of God. In some special sense he had been more unprotected and defenseless than is common at that period of life, and he owed his preservation then entirely to God. This, too, may have passed through the mind of the Redeemer on the cross.
