Psalms 22:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 22:13
The imagery of enemies as 'ravening and roaring lions' depicts their fierce, predatory nature. This evokes Satan as a 'roaring lion seeking whom he may devour' (1 Pet. 5:8). From a Reformed perspective, Christ faced the full fury of satanic opposition and human evil at the cross, yet triumphed through apparent defeat. The 'gaped upon me' suggests open-mouthed aggression, emphasizing the hostility Christ endured to secure salvation.
