Psalm, Chapter 22A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.For the choir director; upon [a]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.22 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.-          A cry of anguish and a song of praise is is the title of this chaptero   notice there is a cry of Anguish firsto   then a song of praiseo   this implies prayer followed by answer to prayer which causes praise-          it is written for the choir director upon Aijeleth Hashshaharo   Aijeleth means “doe, deer, hind”o   Hashshahar means “dawn or at dawn”o   When combined it speaks of being sure footed upon the sunrise§  God is light so first light would be speak of Jesus§  Ability to walk with Jesus upon His return may be implied-          My God my God why have You forsaken me, o   David is speaking prophetic words that Jesus would repeat 1,000 years latero   This points to the impossible situation of sin which can only be delt with by God Himselfo   Jesus spoke the same phrase in Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34§  Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?§  A study of linguistics may help clarify this sentence§  If translated in Northern Aramaic (the language of Jesus)§  “Listen to my heart, this is my destiny.” Jesus was telling those who were in sorrow over his death, “This is why I came to earth in the first place, this is my purpose, to die for you.”§  God did not forsake Himself or His Son; He gave His One and only begotten Son for the specific purpose to save sinners§  This great love was demonstrated on the cross, when Jesu Christ gave up His life willingly -          Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaningo   David cry illuminates the seemingly great distance between his cry and God's deliveranceo   it is part of the human condition to cry out to God “where are You”, “why don't you answer me”…o   God's deliverance shall surely come (but in His time not yours or mine)Intro to Outbless Weekly Thanks for listening to Outbless.com
