Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 22:8

8. He trusted on the LORD , that he would deliver him , let him deliver him, ‖ seeing he delighted in him .

He Rolled himself upon the Lord. Where they seem to Scoff not only at the thing, but at the Expression. Their Sence is, He pretended that he did wholly lean and rest himself, and cast his Cares upon God, and quietly and confidently commit all his Affairs to his Providence, assuring himself of an happy Issue from him.

Or, without any Supplement, let him deliver him, as it follows, though the Hebrew words be differing. And so the same thing is twice repeated to shew both the Vehemency of their Hatred, and their Confidence of Success against him. They thought his Case desperate, and past all hope and Remedy.

As he useth to alledge and boast, but how vainly the Event now sheweth.
