Psalms 22:9

"“He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the trusting faith of the psalmist and contrasts it with the skepticism of his adversaries. They challenge God to act on His promise of deliverance, reflecting both their doubt and the psalmist's unwavering confidence in divine providence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But thou art he that took me out of the womb -I owe my life to thee. This is urged by the sufferer as a reason why God should now interpose and protect him. God had brought him into the world, guarding him in the perils of the earliest moments of his being, and he now pleads that in the day of trouble God will interpose and save him. There is nothing improper in applying this to the Messiah. He was a man, with all the innocent propensities and feelings of a man; and no one can say but that when on the cross - and perhaps with special fitness we may say when he saw his mother standing near himJohn 19:25- these thoughts may have passed through his mind.
