What does the Bible say about Psalm 22 and the cross?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 22 is considered the psalm of the cross, echoing the sufferings of Christ and expressing his anguish during crucifixion.

Psalm 22 serves as a profound Messianic text, often regarded by early writers as the very words spoken by Christ on the cross. The opening line, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" foreshadows Christ's deep anguish as He bears the sins of humanity. The psalm vividly describes the mockery, pain, and abandonment experienced by Christ, and it concludes with a declaration of God's righteousness to a future generation, underscoring the redemptive purpose of His suffering. In this context, Psalm 22 highlights the profound mystery of Christ's sufferings and divine plan while serving to affirm the hope in resurrection and salvation for His people.
