How Traditions Read This Prophecy
Apostolic (Oneness) PentecostalPsalm 22 is the crucifixion psalm — 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me' (v. 1), pierced hands and feet (v. 16). These verses of trust from the womb fit the incarnate Lord: God, having become flesh, lived a true human life from birth (Luke 1:35; Gal. 4:4). The One forsaken on the cross and the God who took Him from the womb are the one God in the mystery of the incarnation.
JewishA psalm of individual lament and trust, traditionally David's; the womb-language voices lifelong dependence on God. It is not read of a crucified Messiah in mainstream Judaism.
CatholicPart of the great Passion psalm prayed by Christ on the cross; vv. 9-10 affirm His true humanity and lifelong trust in the Father.
ProtestantWithin the most-cited Passion psalm in the NT; these verses underscore the Messiah's genuine human birth and reliance on God from infancy.
AcademicA lament psalm whose imagery the evangelists apply to the crucifixion; vv. 9-10 use conventional Hebrew expressions of trust-from-birth found across the Psalter.
