Psalm 22:13

13 Abrieron sobre mí su boca, Como león rapante y rugiente.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 22:13 In-Context

11 No te alejes de mí, porque la angustia está cerca; Porque no hay quien ayude.

12 Hanme rodeado muchos toros; Fuertes toros de Basán me han cercado.

13 Abrieron sobre mí su boca, Como león rapante y rugiente.

14 Heme escurrido como aguas, Y todos mis huesos se descoyuntaron: Mi corazón fué como cera, Desliéndose en medio de mis entrañas.

15 Secóse como un tiesto mi vigor, Y mi lengua se pegó á mi paladar; Y me has puesto en el polvo de la muerte.
