Psalm PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 22:1. This psalm appears to be an individual lament. The singer has been attacked by unscrupulous people and mocked by those who should feel sympathy. Nevertheless, he looks forward to vindication and joyful worship with the rest of God’s people. Because of its prominent place in the crucifixion story, Christian readers have found in this psalm a description of the sufferings of Jesus. See chart.
