22 Perciocchè io sono afflitto, e povero; E il mio cuore è piagato dentro di me.

Salmi 109:22 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:22

For I am poor and needy
As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; see ( 2 Corinthians 8:9 ) . It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; see ( Psalms 40:17 ) .

And my heart is wounded within me;
with the sins of his people on him, with a sense of divine wrath, and when under divine desertions, especially when his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death, ( Matthew 26:38 ) ( Psalms 40:12 ) .

Salmi 109:22 In-Context

20 Tal sia, da parte del Signore, la ricompensa de’ miei avversari, E di quelli che parlano male contro all’anima mia.

21 Ma tu, o Signore Iddio, opera inverso me, per amor del tuo Nome; Liberami, perciocchè la tua benignità è buona.

22 Perciocchè io sono afflitto, e povero; E il mio cuore è piagato dentro di me.

23 Io me ne vo, come l’ombra quando dichina; Io sono agitato come una locusta.

24 Le mie ginocchia vacillano per li miei digiuni; E la mia carne è dimagrata, e non ha più grassezza alcuna.
