Aijeleth Shahar

Or, Ay-ys-leth Shachar, "hind of the morning," a title, not a musical instrument.

My God, My God

Psalms 22, 23, and 24 form a trilogy. In Psalm 22, the good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11); in Psalm 23 (Psalms 23:1-6), the great Shepherd, "brought again from the dead through the blood of the everlasting covenant." (Hebrews 13:20) tenderly cares for the sheep; in Psalm 24 (Psalms 24:1-10), the chief Shepherd appears as King of glory to own and reward the sheep (1 Peter 5:4).

Psalms 22:1

1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
