This psalm was quoted by Jesus in His time of greatest anguish:

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Matthew 27:46 (ESV)

  1. Read Psalm 22:1-11. Describe why you think this psalm was so poignant for Jesus at that moment when He hung on the cross and His physical life drained away.
