What does the Bible say about Psalm 22?

Psalm 22 is often referred to as the 'Psalm of the Cross' and is deeply Christ-centered. It begins with David's anguished cry, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' which is also spoken by Christ during His crucifixion, indicating its prophetic nature. This Psalm illustrates not only the suffering of David during his earthly troubles but ultimately reveals the suffering of Jesus as the substitute for sinners, fulfilling the demands of divine justice through His agony and crucifixion, thereby redeeming His people.
