Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 22:6

_ _ He who was despised and rejected of His own people, as a disgrace to the nation, might well use these words of deep abasement, which express not His real, but esteemed, value.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 22:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 22:6

A worm — Neglected and despised. People — Not only of the great men, but also of the common people. Which doth not so truly agree to David as to Christ.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 22:6

But I [am] a (d) worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

(d) And seeming most miserable of all creatures, which referred to Christ, and in this appears the unspeakable love of God for man, that he would thus abase his son for our sakes.
