Psalm 22

9. He prays in great distress
23. He praises God














From birth
The phrase "From birth" in Psalm 22:10 emphasizes the psalmist's acknowledgment of God's presence and influence from the very beginning of life. The Hebrew root for "birth" here is "beten," which refers to the womb. This highlights the intimate and personal relationship between the psalmist and God, suggesting that God's care and purpose for an individual are established even before they enter the world. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding of God's sovereignty and involvement in the creation and formation of life, as seen in other scriptures like Jeremiah 1:5, where God knows and consecrates individuals before they are born.

I was cast on You
The phrase "I was cast on You" conveys a sense of total dependence and trust in God from the earliest moments of existence. The Hebrew word "shalak" is used here, meaning to throw or cast, indicating a deliberate act of placing oneself in God's care. This imagery suggests that the psalmist's life was entrusted to God, much like a child is placed in the arms of a caregiver. It reflects a deep-seated faith and reliance on God's providence, which is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms and the broader biblical narrative.

from my mother’s womb
The phrase "from my mother’s womb" further underscores the idea of God's involvement and care from the very start of life. The Hebrew term "rechem" for "womb" is often associated with compassion and mercy, suggesting that God's nurturing presence is akin to the protective and life-giving environment of the womb. This phrase not only highlights the psalmist's personal experience but also serves as a reminder of the universal truth of God's intimate knowledge and care for all humanity, as echoed in passages like Psalm 139:13-16.

You have been my God
The declaration "You have been my God" is a profound statement of personal faith and relationship with the divine. The use of the personal pronoun "my" signifies a covenantal relationship, where the psalmist acknowledges God as their own, not just a distant deity. This reflects the Hebrew understanding of God as "Elohim," a powerful and mighty being who is also personal and relational. The historical context of this phrase is rooted in the covenantal promises made to the patriarchs, where God commits to being the God of their descendants, thus affirming His faithfulness and enduring presence in the lives of His people.

Verse 10. - I was cast upon thee from the womb. In a certain sense this is true of all; but of the Holy Child it was most true (Luke 2:40, 49, 52). He was "cast" on God the Father's care in an especial way. Thou art my God from my mother's belly. The Child Jesus was brought near to God from his birth (Luke 1:35; Luke 2:21, 22). From the first dawn of consciousness God was his God (Luke 2:40, 49).
