Gospel authors are borrowing whole phrases from this poem at different points. Jesus cries the first line, and the gospel authors in there narrating the events of the crucifixion are borrowing entire phrases from it. He's like highlighting the paradox. There's a long section that goes on where he starts to describe his enemies,. Surround me, strong bulls of Bishan and circle me. They have dug through my hands and my feet.

David’s life gives us two parallel portrayals of what it means to be God’s anointed one: one is victorious—God’s anointed is the giant feller and the snake crusher. The other one is a suffering servant, waiting patiently in the wilderness for God’s deliverance. In today’s episode, join Tim and Jon in the Psalms, where they’ll explore both David’s victory and his suffering and discuss how Jesus saw himself living out both those roles too.
