Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 22:14-15.


Psalms 22:15

_ _ the dust of death — of course, denotes the grave. We need not try to find the exact counterpart of each item of the description in the particulars of our Savior's sufferings. Figurative language resembles pictures of historical scenes, presenting substantial truth, under illustrations, which, though not essential to the facts, are not inconsistent with them. Were any portion of Christ’s terrible sufferings specially designed, it was doubtless that of the garden of Gethsemane.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 22:11-21.
