Lord is my Strength, my hope and joy

Psalm 22:11-20
Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
But you, O Lord, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
David vividly described the situation what he was and corresponding to the situation of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Why?
That feeling of desertion by God becomes a terrible reality for Jesus, enduring the crushing, suffocating(令人窒息) weight of human sin which tears him apart, seeming to sever the essential unity of Father and Son.
The psalmist's own situation alternates with hope - hope that springs out (湧出)of every recollection of God's past dealings with him.
Those evil men like dogs, they are crowded and noise maker.
God is my strength, my hope and my joy!
How?
Pray to the Lord, He is my hope and my Strength!
