[42]PREVIOUS Psalms 22:14 [43]NEXT Psalms 22:16
[44]Psalms 22:15

My strength is dried up like a potsherd
The radical moisture of his body was dried up through his loss of blood
and spirits, and through the violent fever upon him, brought on him by
his being hurried from court to court; and which generally attends
persons under a panic, in consternation and fear of danger and death,
and at crucifixion; or this was occasioned by the inward sorrow and
distress of his mind, which affected his body and dried his bones, as a
broken spirit is said to do, ( [45]Proverbs 17:22 ) ; and chiefly it
was brought upon him through the sense he had the wrath of God, which
like fire dried up his strength, just as a potsherd burnt in a furnace;
which expresses his dolorous sufferings, which were typified by the
passover lamb being roasted with fire, and the manna being baked in
pans;

and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
so that he could not, or rather would not, speak; this phrase sometimes
signifying silence, ( [46]Job 29:10 ) ( [47]Ezekiel 3:26 ) . Thus
Christ answered not a word to the charges of the false witnesses before
the high priest, nor to the accusations of the chief priests and elders
before Pilate; nor did he open his mouth, when he was led to be
crucified, neither against the law and justice of God, nor against his
people for whom he suffered, nor against his enemies who used him
cruelly; when he was reviled he reviled not again; but rather this was
occasioned by thirst, through the violent fever that was upon him; see
( [48]Lamentations 4:4 ) ; Hence, when he hung upon the cross, he said,
"I thirst", ( [49]John 19:28 ) ;

and thou hast brought me into the dust of death;
meaning either death itself, which brings to the dust, and which is
signified in this psalm by going down to it, ( [50]Psalms 22:29 ) ; or
the grave, where the body crumbles into dust, and where it is covered
with dust, and therefore is said to sleep in the dust of the earth, (
[51]Daniel 12:2 ) ; and accordingly the Targum renders it here, "thou
hast shut me up in the house of the grave": now Christ both died and
was laid in the grave, though he did not lie there so long as to
corrupt and decompose, yet he might be truly said to be laid in the
dust: and this is attributed to God, to his counsel, disposal, and
Providence; and even whatever was done to Christ antecedent to his
death, and which led on to it, were what God's hand and counsel had
determined to be done; and though it was with wicked hands the Jews
took Christ and used him in the manner after related, and crucified and
slew him, he was delivered to them by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God; and by these he was delivered into the hands of
justice, and brought to death itself, ( [52]Acts 2:23 ) ( [53]Acts 4:27
[54]Acts 4:28 ) .
