This week’s study is from Tehillim / Psalms 22:1-31, the Psalm is introduced saying א   לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-אַיֶּלֶת הַשַּׁחַר מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד: For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David. The first distinctive verse of the psalm states ב   אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:  22:1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. (NASB) reminding us of Yeshua’s words while on the cross in Matthew 27:45-46 and Mark 15:34.  David continues saying ג   אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא-דוּמִיָּה לִי: ד   וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְֹרָאֵל: ה   בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַתְּפַלְּטֵמוֹ: ו   אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא-בוֹשׁוּ: ז   וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא-אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם: ח   כָּל-רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָֹפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ: 22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. 22:3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. 22:4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. 22:5 To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed. 22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. 22:7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying, (NASB)  David proclaims that he is the Lord’s even from the womb and asks the Lord not to be far off when he calls (Tehillim / Psalms 22:8-11).
