Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 22:1

1. MY God , my God , why hast thou forsaken me ? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring ?

Whom, notwithstanding thy forsaking me, I heartily Love, and in whom I trust, who art my Friend and Father, though now thou frownest upon me.

The Repetition Notes, the depth of his distress which made him Cry so earnestly, and the struglings of his Faith, with his Fears and Sorrows.

(i. e.) Left me in the hands of Malicious men, withdrawn the Light of thy Countenance, and the supporn and Comforts of thy Spirit from me, and filled me with the Terrors of thy wrath, so that I am ready to sink under my Burden. This was in part verified in David, but much more fully in Christ, who applies these Words to himself, Mat. 27. 46.

(i. e.) From regarding, or Pitying, or Answering my strong Prayers, and lamentable Out-cries forced from me, by my intolerable Distresses and Miseries.
