Psalms 22:24

22:24 For he did not despise or detest the suffering ²  of the oppressed; ³ 

he did not ignore him; ⁴ 

when he cried out to him, he responded. ⁵ 

[22:5]  ¹ tn Or “were not ashamed.”

[22:24]  ² tn Or “affliction”; or “need.”

[22:24]  ³ sn In this verse the psalmist refers to himself in the third person and characterizes himself as oppressed.

[22:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “he did not hide his face from him.” For other uses of the idiom “hide the face” meaning “ignore,” see Pss 10:11; 13:1; 51:9. Sometimes the idiom carries the stronger idea of “reject” (see Pss 27:9; 88:14).

[22:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “heard.”
