(Psa 22:16 KJV) For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
(Proverbs 7 also read)
The first verse of this Psalm brings to mind the words Jesus on the cross. That helps to get us in a frame of mind to sit up and take notice of this verse. To us this seems to refer to nailing Jesus to the cross. I wonder what the ancient Jews thought of it. I don’t see any way it could apply to David himself. Did they see it as Messianic or was it just a mystery.
So? There are many little statements in the Old Testament that point to Jesus. Keep your eyes open as you read and be filled with wonder.
