Salmi 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.

Salmi 22:19 In-Context

17 Posso contare tutte le mie ossa. Essi mi guardano e m’osservano;

18 spartiscon fra loro i miei vestimenti e tirano a sorte la mia veste.

19 Tu dunque, o Eterno, non allontanarti, tu che sei la mia forza, t’affretta a soccorrermi.

20 Libera l’anima mia dalla spada, l’unica mia, dalla zampa del cane;

21 salvami dalla gola del leone. Tu mi risponderai liberandomi dalle corna dei bufali.
