Psaume 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 22:19

But be not thou far from me, O Lord
(See Gill on Psalms 22:11);

O my strength;
Christ as God is the mighty God, the Almighty; as Mediator, he is the strength of his people; but, as man, God is his strength; he is the man of his right hand, whom he has made strong for himself, and whom he has promised his arm shall strengthen, ( Psalms 80:17 ) ( 89:21 ) ; and therefore he addresses him in this manner here, saying,

haste thee to help me;
his help was alone in God his strength; there were none that could help him but he, and he seemed to stand afar off from helping him, ( Psalms 22:1 Psalms 22:11 ) ; and his case being so distressed, as is represented in the preceding verses, it required haste.

Psaume 22:19 In-Context

17 Je pourrais compter tous mes os. Eux, ils observent, ils me regardent;

18 Ils se partagent mes vêtements, Ils tirent au sort ma tunique.

19 Et toi, Eternel, ne t'éloigne pas! Toi qui es ma force, viens en hâte à mon secours!

20 Protège mon âme contre le glaive, Ma vie contre le pouvoir des chiens!

21 Sauve-moi de la gueule du lion, Délivre-moi des cornes du buffle!
