Psalm 22

PSALM 22 is a sixteenth-century hymn from the Genevan Psalter. The referenced psalm starts with “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?”, declaring King David’s remorse after sin. The text was spoken centuries later when Jesus died on the cross, accepting the punishment for our failure to live up to God’s perfect standard.

It’s sung during Lent, and one of the texts married to PSALM 22 is When We Are Tempted to Deny Your Son
