Salmi 22:13

13 apron la loro gola contro a me, come un leone rapace e ruggente.

Salmi 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.

Salmi 22:13 In-Context

11 Non t’allontanare da me, perché l’angoscia è vicina, e non v’è alcuno che m’aiuti.
12 Grandi tori m’han circondato; potenti tori di Basan m’hanno attorniato;
13 apron la loro gola contro a me, come un leone rapace e ruggente.
14 Io son come acqua che si sparge, e tutte le mie ossa si sconnettono; il mio cuore è come la cera, si strugge in mezzo alle mie viscere.
15 Il mio vigore s’inaridisce come terra cotta, e la lingua mi s’attacca al palato; tu m’hai posto nella polvere della morte.
