Listen from:
Often in this book of the Psalms, some are grouped together around one theme. These three are a picture about Christ’s life on earth among His own people, Israel. Not only sharing in their sorrows, but in the end, paying for their sins on the cross, so that all who looked to Him, might be blessed with Him in the end. The last verse is like a prayer of the Lord Jesus as He was on the cross. He didn’t ever do anything to save Himself from that dreadful cross. Throughout this Psalm, you will see a little of what He went through, and how He felt everything that was done to Him.
V.1 He does not use the word “Father,” for it is only used in the New Testament. We can see that the Lord took His place right among His own people. May we take our place with Him in this wicked world, and realize we are following a rejected Man.
