Psalms 22:10 Summary
[Psalms 22:10 means that from the moment we are born, God is our God and we are dependent on Him. This is a powerful reminder that our lives are in His hands, and we can trust Him to take care of us, just like a child trusts their parents (as seen in Matthew 7:11). As we reflect on this verse, we are encouraged to recognize God's presence and care in our lives from the very beginning, and to trust in His goodness and love for us, as expressed in Romans 8:28. By acknowledging God's sovereignty over our lives, we can deepen our relationship with Him and live with confidence and peace, knowing He is always with us.]
Frequently Asked Questions

How can we be sure God is our God from birth?
The Bible teaches that God knows us before we are born, as stated in Jeremiah 1:5, and that He has a plan for our lives, which gives us confidence that He is our God from the very beginning, as expressed in Psalms 22:10.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 22:10
I was cast upon thee from the womb,.... Either by himself, trusting in God, hoping in him, and casting all the care of himself upon him; or by his parents, who knew the danger he was exposed to, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 22:10
I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. From the womb. The reference is to the parent receiving the child at birth (Genesis 30:3).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 22:10
I was like one forsaken by his parent, and cast wholly upon thy providence. I had no father upon earth, and my mother was poor and helpless.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 22:10
Psalms 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother’ s belly.Ver. 10. I was cast upon thee from the womb] Id est, a patre et matre mea, saith Kimchi, by my father and my mother, whom thou, Lord, feddest, and filledst her breasts, that she might suckle me, Veluti exposititius tibi fui a matrice (Vat.). Did men but seriously consider what kept and fed them in the womb, and at the breasts, when neither they could shift for themselves, nor their parents do much for them, they would conclude he would much more now by their holy prayers, honest endeavours, &c. Thou art my God from my mother’ s belly] This is a privilege proper to children born within the covenant, and they may claim it; they have God for their God from their nativity; and they may lay their reckoning so in all their addresses unto God.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 22:10
10. Upon thee have I been cast &c. Upon thee stands first emphatically. Cp. Psalms 22:4-5. To THY care have I been entrusted from my birth. Cp. Psalms 55:22; Psalms 71:6. There does not seem to be any reference to the practice of placing a new-born infant upon its father’s knees, as much as to say, Thou didst adopt me.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 22:10
I was cast upon thee from the womb - Upon thy protection and care. This, too, is an argument for the divine interposition. He had been, as it were, thrown early in life upon the protecting care of God.
