My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
The psalmist begins in despair.
Yet he recalls his relationship with God.
The psalmist is consumed by pain and shame.
Yet he has known and still knows God.
The psalmist is threatened and near death.
Yet he knows that God can rescue and redeem.
The psalmist begins focused on himself but ends focusing on God, and in the process the psalmist is transformed.
Psalm 22
