Ps22:1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.Ps22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest.Ps22:3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.Ps22:4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them.Ps22:5 To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.Ps22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.Ps22:7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,Ps22:8 “Commit yourself to the LORD ; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”Ps22:9 Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.Ps22:10 Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb.Ps22:11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help.Ps22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.Ps22:13 They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion.Ps22:14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.Ps22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.Ps22:16 For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.Ps22:17 I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;Ps22:18 They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.Ps22:19 But You, O LORD , be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.Ps22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.Ps22:21 Save me from the lion’s mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.Ps22:22 I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.Ps22:23 You who fear the LORD , praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.Ps22:24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.Ps22:25 From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.Ps22:26 The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD . Let your heart live forever!Ps22:27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD , And all the families of the nations will worship before You.Ps22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD ’S And He rules over the nations.Ps22:29 All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.Ps22:30 Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.Ps22:31 They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.

Jackie W. posted psalm 22. (Feb 20, 2010)
“Psalm 22 matches my situation perfectly. It helps me realize that," Hey, I guess I'm not the only one who feels this way!" It's very downcast yet to me, I see a message of hope. Verses 19-31 relay that God will come and show forth a new light and rescue us from despair... it shows that God was always by our side but we were blindfolded. ”

This is probably my favorite verse; I love Isaiah's attitude. I guess I'm kind of like Isaiah, wanting to be used for God's will and His glory. Seems like...
