David complains in great discouragement9. He prays in great distress 23. He praises God My strength is dried up The phrase "My strength is dried up" evokes a vivid image of utter exhaustion and depletion. The Hebrew word for "strength" here is "koach," which often denotes physical power or vigor. In the context of Psalm 22, traditionally attributed to David, this expression captures a profound sense of weakness and vulnerability. Historically, this psalm is seen as a prophetic foreshadowing of the suffering of Christ, and this particular phrase can be seen as reflecting the physical and spiritual anguish experienced during the crucifixion.
