Psalms 22:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I am poured out like water; my heart faileth, my spirits are spent and gone like water, which once spilt can never be recovered; my very flesh is melted within me, and I am become as weak as water. See the like phrase Joshua 7:5, and compare 2 Samuel 14:14 Job 14:11. All my bones are out of joint; I am as weak and unable to move or help myself, and withal as full of torment, as if I were upon a rack, and all my bones were disjointed. Or, all my bones are separated, one from another; as they were in some sort in Christ, by the stretching of his body upon the cross. My heart; the seat of life, and fountain which supplies spirits and vigour to the whole body. Is like wax; melted, as it follows, through fear and overwhelming grief: compare Psalms 68:2, Psalms 97:5.

Psalms 22:14

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
