  Psalm 22:1-11

      1    My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
‍ ‍2    O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
               and by night, but I find no rest.

      3    Yet you are holy,
               enthroned on the praises of Israel.
‍ ‍4    In you our fathers trusted;
               they trusted, and you delivered them.
‍ ‍5    To you they cried and were rescued;
               in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

‍ ‍ 6     But I am a worm and not a man,
               scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
      7    All who see me mock me;
               they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
‍ 8  “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;
               let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”
           
    9  Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
               you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
‍ ‍10  On you was I cast from my birth,
               and from my mother's womb you have been my God.
‍ ‍11  Be not far from me,
               for trouble is near,
‍ ‍and there is none to help.
   

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

The Kingdom of Jesus: A Study in Luke’s Gospel (#80)

Psalm 22

Pastor Steve Gilbertson

For two years, we have studied the story of Jesus as it appears in Luke’s gospel. What will follow in the next two chapters is the greatest act of love and sacrifice the word has ever known. To prepare our hearts for this, let us take a look at the Psalm with which we began our worship today: Psalm 22.
