Psalm 22 Review

We will use the tasks we learned at El Paso International School of Faith, (EPISF). We know that Davie wrote this Psalm, look for the verses that talk about Jesus.

David wrote the Psalm; this is David as a Suffering Servant.

 

Psalm 22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Psalm 22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Psalm 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Psalm 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

Psalm 22:5 They cried unto thee and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

1. A Messianic Psalm is a Psalm that is in large part about the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Verses Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34, and Luke 24:44 all are about Jesus and His ministry.
3. Psalm 22:1-2 we see David is in agony and he wonders where God is.
4. Psalm 22:3-5, David talks about the help that God has given the Jewish people.
5. Why is God not helping David? Do we sometimes feel this way?

Psalm 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

Psalm 22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

Psalm 22:8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

Psalm 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

Psalm 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Psalm 22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

1. Psalm 22:6-8 people speak badly about David; they did the same to Jesus; Matthew 27:39-40.
2. They made David feel small like a worm and laugh and scorn him.
3. Psalm 22:9-11 David knew that he was chosen from the day he was conceived. He learned that God had a plan for him, God has a plan for us all, those that believe.

 

Psalm 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

Psalm 22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

Psalm 22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Psalm 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Psalm 22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.

1. Psalm 22:12-18; There is trouble around David.
2. There is trouble all around David, and it reminds us of the trouble Jesus had at the end. See Matthew 27:35, Mark 15:24, Luke 23:34, and John 19:23-24, all talking about them casting lots for the garments of Jesus.

Sometimes we may think God does not know our problem, but He is all-to-aware of our life and all that goes into it.

 

Psalm 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Psalm 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

Psalm 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

1. Verse 22:19-21; David prays while he is going through this ordeal.
2. Do we do that, do we pray as we go through an ordeal?
3. David prayed until he got a response from God.

 

Psalm 22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

Psalm 22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

 

Psalm 22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

Psalm 22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

1. Psalm 22:22-25; David Praises God.
2. Here to the end of this Psalm it is about full praise. It is no longer about David's suffering. Will sing praises to God in Church.
3. People are in awe of the love he has for God.
4. In Psalm 22:25; God will keep his promises to us. We must believe.

 

Psalm 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

Psalm 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

Psalm 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

Psalm 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

Psalm 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

Psalm 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

1. Psalm 22:26-31, the congregation thinks God.
2. The rich and poor will eat the sacrifice. As a result, people will praise God and worship God.
3. When we participate in the Lord’s supper, we remember that God is the reason for our salvation. We come together for this because we all know of the righteousness of God.

Thank you and remember God is always here for you, here for us. God Bless
