Psalms 109:22

“For I am poor and needy, etc.] As he was in human nature, being born of poor parents, brought up in a mean manner, had not where to lay his head, and was ministered to by others; though he was Lord of all, and immensely rich in the perfections of his nature, and in his vast empire and dominion, and the revenues arising from thence; (see <470809>2 Corinthians 8:9). It may here chiefly respect his helpless and forlorn estate as man, at the time of his sufferings and death; (see <194017>Psalm 40:17).

“For I am poor and needy - I am helpless and dependent. I am in a condition where I need thy gracious interposition. And my heart is wounded within me - I am as one that is prostrated by a weapon - as if my heart had been pierced. I have no courage, no strength. I am like one who lies wounded on a battlefield. return to 'Top of Page'”
