My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
All Commentaries on Psalms 22:1 Go To Psalms 22
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
2. "O God, my God, look upon me, why hast Thou forsaken me far from my salvation?" (ver. 1). Far removed from my salvation: for" salvation is far from sinners." "The words of my sins." For these are not the words of righteousness, but of my sins. For it is the old man nailed to the Cross that speaks, ignorant even of the reason why God hath forsaken him: or else it may be thus, The words of my sins are far from my salvation.
