In this Psalm Christ complaineth of his unjust usage by his malignant adversaries, but not of that only nor principally.
The passions whereof Christ complaineth in this Psalm, may be conveniently distributed into four ⟨p. 82⟩heads. The suffering the wrath of God, ver. 1.2.11. The grief of his spirit by reproaches, ver. 6, 7, 8, 17, 18. His fear from the cruelty of his enemies, vers. 12, 13, 16, 20, 21. The torture of his body by crucifying, ver. 14.15, 16, 17. the greatest whereof was the sense of the wrath of God.
