“For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.”

Psalms 22 opens with the cry of someone abandoned by God and surrounded by enemies, and it ends in praise that reaches the whole earth. Jesus quoted its first line from the cross, and the New Testament writers saw many details of the psalm fulfilled in his suffering.
