Psalms 22:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. Our fathers trusted in thee - David is supposed to have been, at the time of composing this Psalm, at Mahanaim, where Jacob was once in such great distress; where he wrestled with the angel, and was so signally blessed. David might well allude to this circumstance in order to strengthen his faith in God. I am now in the place where God so signally blessed the head and father of our tribes. I wrestle with God, as he did; may I not expect similar success?
