Context of Psalms 22:2

1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3But thou art holy, O thou that is enthroned in the praises of Israel. 4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

Though I am not heard, and thou appearest to forget or abandon me; yet I continue to cry both day and night after thy salvation.Read the comment
