Psalms 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 22:13

They gaped upon me [with] their mouths
Either by way of derision and contempt, ( Job 16:10 ) ; or belching out blasphemy against him, or rather, with the greatest vehemency, crying out "Crucify him, crucify him", ( Luke 23:21 ) ( John 19:6 ) ; and this they did

[as] a ravening and roaring lion,
when it has got its prey and rejoices, ( Amos 3:4 ) ; and being in such hands, and encompassed about with such enemies, as Christ was in the garden, in the high priest's hall, and in Pilate's judgment hall, is a third reason or argument used by him with God his Father, to be near to him and not far from him.

Psalms 22:13 In-Context

11 Then you moved far away and trouble moved in next-door. I need a neighbor.

12 Herds of bulls come at me, the raging bulls stampede,

13 Horns lowered, nostrils flaring, like a herd of buffalo on the move.

14 I'm a bucket kicked over and spilled, every joint in my body has been pulled apart. My heart is a blob of melted wax in my gut.

15 I'm dry as a bone, my tongue black and swollen. They have laid me out for burial in the dirt.
