Context — The Psalm of the Cross
7All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
9Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God. 11Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.Cross References

Psalms 22:9 Summary

As it says in Psalms 139:13-14, God 'knit us together in our mother's womb', showing His intimate involvement in our creation. This means we can trust in His love and care, even when things get tough, because He has always been with us. Just like a mother comforts her child, God promises to comfort us, as seen in Isaiah 66:13.]

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 22:9
But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb,.... The Papists affirm, that there was something miraculous in the manner of Christ's coming into the world, as well as in his conception; that his
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 22:9
But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. Thou art he that took me.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 22:9
This is noted as an effect of God’ s wonderful and gracious providence. And although this be a mercy which God grants to all mankind, yet it may well be alleged here, partly in way of gratitude for this great, though common, mercy; nething being more reasonable and usual than for David and other holy men to praise God for such blessings; and partly as an argument to encourage himself to expect and to prevail with God, to grant him the deliverance which now he desires, because he had formerly delivered him; this being a very common argument: see . But this is applicable to Christ in a singular manner, not as a late learned writer takes it, that God separated him from the womb, but that God did bring him out (as the word properly signifies) of the womb, to wit, immediately and by himself, and without the help of any man, by the miraculous operation of the Holy Ghost, which made him there, or else he could never have been brought thence. Thou didst make me hope, or trust, i.e. thou didst give me sufficient ground for hope and trust, if I had then been capable of acting that grace, because of thy wonderful and watchful care over me in that weak and helpless state; which was eminently true of Christ, whom God so miraculously preserved and provided for in his infancy; the history whereof we read Matthew 2. It is not strange that hope is figuratively ascribed to infants, seeing even the brute creatures are said to hope, , and to wait and cry to God, 147:9. When I was upon my mother’ s breasts, i.e. when I was a sucking child; which may be properly understood.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 22:9
Psalms 22:9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother’ s breasts.Ver. 9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb] When, but for thine almighty midwifery, I might have been strangled; or, as an untimely birth, never seen the sun. It is no less than a miracle that the child is kept alive in the womb, and perisheth not in the midst of those excrements, and that, in coming forth, it dieth not, &c. The very opening and shutting again of the body when the child is to be born is a thing so incomprehensible that some naturalists acknowledge the immediate hand and power of God in it. But because it is a common mercy little notice is taken or use made of it. Thou didst make me hope] Or, keptest me in safety; for puerilitas est periculorum pelagus, a thousand deaths and dangers little ones are subject to; but God preserveth and provideth: et haec non sunt per accidens, saith Kimchi, these things are not by chance, but by Divine providence.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 22:9
(9) But.—Better, For. Faith that turns to God in spite of derision is the best answer to derision. Thou didst make me hope.—Better, thou didst make me repose on my mother’s breast.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 22:9
Verse 9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb] Thou hast made me; and hast guided and defended me from my earliest infancy.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 22:9
9. But thou art he] Rather, Yea, thou art he. The mocking words of his enemies are true, and he turns them into a plea. All his past life has proved Jehovah’s love. Cp. Psalms 71:5-6. thou didst make me hope] Rather, that didst make me trust, (cp. Psalms 22:4-5). The marg., keptest me in safety, lit. didst make me lie securely upon my mother’s breasts, is a less probable rendering. The P.B.V. my hope follows LXX, Vulg., Jer., which represent a slightly different reading.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 22:9
But thou art he that took me out of the womb - I owe my life to thee. This is urged by the sufferer as a reason why God should now interpose and protect him.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 22:9
9. But thou art he, etc.—The strong adversative force of the Hebrew conjunction indicates the firm, withstanding faith of the Sufferer.
