David complains in great discouragement9. He prays in great distress 23. He praises God My God, my God This phrase is a profound expression of personal relationship and deep distress. The Hebrew words used here are "Eli, Eli," which denote a personal claim to God, emphasizing a covenant relationship. In the context of ancient Israel, calling upon God in such a personal manner reflects a deep-seated faith and reliance on the divine. This phrase is famously echoed by Jesus on the cross (Matthew 27:46), highlighting its messianic significance and the fulfillment of prophecy. It underscores the intimacy and yet the agony of feeling abandoned by the One whom the psalmist, and later Jesus, trusts completely. why have You forsaken me? The second part of the verse is obscure from its lyric conciseness, but the Authorised Version has given the meaning, though sacrificing the rhythm-- "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, Far from my aid, from the words of my groaning?" i.e., far from listening to the words that escape me only in groans. Roaring.--A word used generally of a lion (Isaiah 5:29; comp. Judges 14:5); but also of a man (Psalm 38:9). Hitzig's conjecture, "from my cry," instead of "from my help," is very plausible, since it makes the parallelism complete and involves a very slight change. The LXX. and Vulg. have "the words of my offences." . . . Verse 1. - My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Not a cry of despair, but a cry of loving faith, "My God, my God - Why hast thou for a time withdrawn thyself?" It is remarkable that our Lord's quotation of this passage does not follow exactly either the Hebrew or the Chaldee paraphrase - the Hebrew having 'azab-thani for sabacthani, and the Chaldee paraphrase metul ma for lama. May we not conclude that it is the thought, and not its verbal expression by the sacred writers, that is inspired? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? It is very doubtful whether our translators have done right in supplying the words which they have added. The natural translation of the Hebrew would be, Far from my salvation are the words of my roaring. And this rendering yields a sufficiently good sense, viz. "Far from effecting my salvation (or deliverance) are the words of my roaring;" i.e. of my loud complaint. Our Lord's "strong crying and tears" in the garden (Hebrews 5:7) did not produce his deliverance.Parallel Commentaries ...
