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). And my heart is wounded within me; with the sins of his people on him, with a sense of divine wrath, and when under divine desertions, especially when his soul was exceeding sorrowful, even unto death, (<402638>Matthew 26:38 <194012>Psalm 40:12).
