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














(2) And am not silent.--This misses the parallelism, which evidently requires "O my God, I cry in the daytime, and thou answerest not; in the night, and find no repose."

Verse 2. - O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; rather, thou answerest not; i.e. thou dost not interpose to deliver me. And in the night season, and am not silent (see Matthew 26:36-44; Mark 14:34-39; Luke 22:41-44).
