Psalms 22:3

Psalms 22:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

But thou art holy. Still God is holy; the Sufferer casts no reproach upon him, but "commits himself to him that judgeth righteously" (1 Peter 2:23). O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. God is seen enthroned in his sanctuary, where the praises and prayers of Israel are ever being offered up to him.

If he hears them, he will assuredly, in his own good time, hear the Sufferer.
