22–28. From this point David and our Lord for a
while part company, if we accept the rendering of our version. The severe
spirit of the law breathes out imprecations, while the tender heart of Jesus
offers prayers for his murderers. These verses, however, may be viewed as
predictions, and then they certainly refer to our Lord, for we find portions of
them quoted in that manner by the apostle in Romans 11:9–10, and by Christ himself in Matthew 23:38.
