Psalms 22:2-3

22:2 My God, I cry out during the day,

but you do not answer,

and during the night my prayers do not let up. ¹ 

22:3 You are holy;

you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel. ² 

[22:2]  ¹ tn Heb “there is no silence to me.”

[22:3]  ² tn Heb “[O] one who sits [on] the praises of Israel.” The verb “receiving” is supplied in the translation for clarity. The metaphorical language pictures the Lord as sitting enthroned as king in his temple, receiving the praises that his people Israel offer up to him.
