Psalm 22
1. David complains in great discouragement
9. He prays in great distress
23. He praises God














But You brought me out of the womb
This phrase emphasizes the divine role in the creation and birth of life. The Hebrew root for "brought" is "גָּחַח" (gachach), which conveys the idea of drawing forth or delivering. This imagery reflects God's intimate involvement in the process of birth, underscoring His sovereignty and care from the very beginning of life. Historically, this acknowledgment of God's role in birth is consistent with the ancient Near Eastern understanding of life as a divine gift, a perspective that is deeply embedded in the Hebrew Scriptures.

You made me secure at my mother’s breast
The word "secure" in Hebrew is "בָּטַח" (batach), which means to trust or feel safe. This phrase paints a picture of the nurturing and protective environment provided by God through the natural bond between a mother and her child. The imagery of a mother's breast is a powerful symbol of sustenance and comfort, reflecting the provision and care that God extends to His people. In the scriptural context, this security is not just physical but also spiritual, indicating a deep trust in God's provision and care from the earliest moments of life.

(9) But.--Better, For. Faith that turns to God in spite of derision is the best answer to derision.

Thou didst make me hope.--Better, thou didst make me repose on my mother's breast.

Verse 9. - But thou art he that took me out of the womb (comp. Job 10:8-11). God's creatures have always a claim upon him from the very fact that they are his creatures. Every sufferer may appeal to God as his Maker, and therefore bound to be his Helper and Preserver. Thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. Thou gavest me the serene joy and trust of infancy - that happy time to which man looks back with such deep satisfaction. Every joy, every satisfaction, came from thee.
