22. This is a very comprehensive prayer, including all the faithful and all
their trials. Sorrow had taught the psalmist sympathy, and gave him communion
with the tried people of God; he therefore remembers them in his prayer. Israel,
the tried, the wrestling, the conquering hero, fit representative of all the
saints. Israel in Egypt, in the wilderness, in wars with Canaanites, in
captivity, fit type of the church militant on earth. Jesus is the Redeemer from
trouble as well as sin. Redemption by blood is finished: O God, send us
redemption by power.
