His enemies, with the vigor of bulls and rapacity of lions, surround him, eagerly seeking his ruin. The force of both figures is greater without the use of any particle denoting comparison.

Clarke: Psa 22:13 - -- They gaped upon me - They were fiercely and madly beat on my destruction.

They gaped upon me - They were fiercely and madly beat on my destruction.

Defender: Psa 22:13 - -- The picture is of an assembly of wicked spirits of darkness, gleefully prancing about the cross - Satan, the roaring lion (1Pe 5:8), mighty bulls, dog...

The picture is of an assembly of wicked spirits of darkness, gleefully prancing about the cross - Satan, the roaring lion (1Pe 5:8), mighty bulls, dogs and unicorns (Psa 22:12, Psa 22:16, Psa 22:21). These references could mean demon-controlled men. Nevertheless, "having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" there at "his cross" (Col 2:14, Col 2:15)."

They gaped upon me with their mouths - Margin, as in Hebrew, "opened their mouths against me."That is, they opened their mouths wide as if they would devour me, as a lion does when he seizes upon his prey. In Psa 22:7 they are represented as "opening"the mouth for another purpose - that of derision or scorn; here they are described as if they were fierce and wild beasts ready to fall upon their prey.

As a ravening and roaring lion - The word "ravening"means "voraciously devouring,"and the allusion in the Hebrew word is to the lion as he tears his prey - טרף ṭâraph - rending it in pieces to devour it. All this is designed to denote the greediness with which the enemies of the Redeemer sought his life.

Poole: Psa 22:13 - -- Partly to affright me, and principally to tear and devour me, as the following metaphor explains it. Otherwise it might be understood of their cryin...

Partly to affright me, and principally to tear and devour me, as the following metaphor explains it. Otherwise it might be understood of their crying out with loud and earnest voices, that he might be condemned and put to death.

Gill: Psa 22:13 - -- They gaped upon me with their mouths,.... Either by way of derision and contempt, Job 16:10; or belching out blasphemy against him, or rather, with t...

They gaped upon me with their mouths,.... Either by way of derision and contempt, Job 16:10; or belching out blasphemy against him, or rather, with the greatest vehemency, crying out "Crucify him, crucify him", Luk 23:21; and this they did

as a ravening and roaring lion, when it has got its prey and rejoices, Amo 3:4; and being in such hands, and encompassed about with such enemies, as Christ was in the garden, in the high priest's hall, and in Pilate's judgment hall, is a third reason or argument used by him with God his Father, to be near to him and not far from him.
