Psalms 22:14

“Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink, etc.] In which he was sinking, (<196902>Psalm 69:2); and accordingly he was delivered out of it, (<191102>Psalm 11:2); even out of all the mire of sin, the sins of his people that were upon him, from which he was justified when raised from the dead; and so will appear without sin, when he comes a second time: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters; these phrases design the same, even the enemies of Christ; such that hated him, compared to deep waters: these are the floods of the ungodly, and the many waters out of which he was drawn and delivered, (<191804>Psalm 18:4,16,17).”

“Utter exhaustion and hopeless weakness, in these circumstances of pressing danger, are set forth by the most expressive figures; the solidity of the body is destroyed, and it becomes like water; the bones are parted; the heart, the very seat of vitality, melts like wax; all the juices of the system are dried up; the tongue can no longer perform its office, but lies parched and stiffened (compare Gen 49:4; Sa2 14:14; Psa 58:8). In this, God is regarded as the ultimate source, and men as the instruments.”

“Water - My spirits are spent and gone like water which once spilt can never be recovered; my very flesh is melted within me, and I am become as weak as water. Bones - I am as unable to help myself, and as full of torment, as if all my bones were disjointed. Wax - Melted, through fear and overwhelming grief. Psalms 22:15”

“22:14 The psalmist’s sense of being poured out like water expresses a meaningless, transitory existence that leaves him depleted.”

“I am: Jos 7:5; Mat 26:38; Luk 22:44; Joh 12:27 all: Psa 22:17; Dan 5:6 out of joint: or, sundered heart: Psa 68:2; Jos 7:5; Job 23:16; Mar 14:33, Mar 14:34 Psalms 22:15”

“(Heb.: 22:15-16)Now he described, how, thus encompassed round, he is still just living, but already as it were dead. The being poured out like water reminds us of the ignominious abandonment of the Crucified One to a condition of weakness, in which His life, deprived of its natural support, is in the act of dissolution, and its powers dried up ( Sa2 14:14); the bones being stretched out, of the forcible stretching out of His body (חתפּרד, from פּרד to separate, cf. Arab. frd, according to its radical signification, which has been preserved in the common Arabic dialect: so to spread out or apart that the thing has no bends or folds, (Note: Vid., Bocthor, Dict. fran.-arabe, s. v.
