Psalms 22:17 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.

Ver. 17. I may tell all my bones] Now especially, when stretched out upon the cross, Quando pendens extentus erat in ligno, saith Austin. Derident maciem meam, saith Kimchi.

They look and stare upon me] Aspiciunt, id est, despiciunt, ut Song of Solomon 1:6, saith Kimchi, they feed their eyes and passions with my misery, as Luke 23:35. This απιχαιρεκακια is the devil's disease, and declareth a devilish disposition, sc. for a man to make himself merry in other men's misery.
