Salmi 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 22:7

All they that see me laugh me to scorn
To the afflicted pity should be shown; but instead or pitying him in his distresses they laughed at him; this must be understood of the soldiers when they had him in Pilate's hall, and of the Jews in general when he hung upon the cross; some particular persons must be excepted, as John the beloved disciple, the mother of our Lord, Mary Magdalene, and some other women, who stood afar off beholding him;

they shoot out the lip;
or "open with the lip" F25; they made mouths at him, they put out their lips, or gaped upon him with their mouths, and in a way of sport and pastime made wide mouths and drew out their tongues, as in ( Job 16:10 ) ( Isaiah 57:4 ) ;

they shake the head, [saying];
in a way of scorn and derision, as in ( Lamentations 2:15 ) . This was fulfilled in the Jews, ( Matthew 27:39 ) .

Salmi 22:7 In-Context

5 Gridarono a te, e furon salvati; confidarono in te, e non furon confusi.
6 Ma io sono un verme e non un uomo; il vituperio degli uomini, e lo sprezzato dal popolo.
7 Chiunque mi vede si fa beffe di me; allunga il labbro, scuote il capo, dicendo:
8 Ei si rimette nell’Eterno; lo liberi dunque; lo salvi, poiché lo gradisce!
9 Sì, tu sei quello che m’hai tratto dal seno materno; m’hai fatto riposar fidente sulle mammelle di mia madre.
