This Psalm so sweetly and so accurately pictures the inward griefs of our Divine Savior that it might have been written after the Crucifixion rather than so many hundreds of years before it. I call your attention to the fact that this
Psalm is followed by the 23rd, which begins, "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want," to remind you that you and I
would never have had that sweet 23rd Psalm to sing if our Divine Shepherd had not been made, with groans and tears, to weep out the 22nd Psalm, which begins with our Savior’s saddest cry from the Cross.
