1. Save me, O God. “He saved others; himself he cannot save” (Mark 15:31; compare Hebrews
5:7). Thus David had prayed, and his Son and Lord utters the same cry. It is
remarkable that such a scene of woe should be presented to us immediately after
the jubilant ascension hymn of the last psalm, but this only shows how
interwoven are the glories and the sorrows of our ever-blessed Redeemer. Forthe waters are come in unto my soul. Bodily anguish is not his first
complaint; he begins with the mighty griefs which broke into his heart. Our
Lord was doing business for us on the great waters, at his Father’s command;
the stormy wind was lifting up the waves, and he went down to the depths with
us, and is able to succor us when we, like Peter, beginning to sink, cry to
him, “Lord, save, or we perish.”
