Psalms 22:1

[The psalm begins with a question of despair where the words "My God, my God" and "forsaken" can be perceived as a contradictory contrast. However, it is precisely God's absence that makes him so tangible. David is torn between previous experiences where God has answered, see verses 4-6, and the current situation where God does not seem to hear his prayer. The word for "wailing" describes the loud roar of a lion, but also an unarticulated loud lam. see Isa. 5:29; Zech. 11:3; Job 3:24; Ps. 32:3. In the choice of words, we can sense the beginning of the fulfillment of the phrase from the last book of the Bible: "Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed," see Rev 5:5.]
My God (Eli), my God (Eli),
why have you forsaken (left) me? [Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34]
My help (salvation) seems so far away,
distant from my cries (roars).
[In Heb. 5:7 it is described how Jesus cried out loudly in tears when he prayed.]
