Salmos 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.

18 Partieron entre sí mis vestidos, Y sobre mi ropa echaron suertes.
19 Mas tú, Jehová, no te alejes; Fortaleza mía, apresúrate para mi ayuda.
20 Libra de la espada mi alma; Del poder del perro mi única.
21 Sálvame de la boca del león, Y óyeme librándome de los cuernos de los unicornios.
