Psalms 22 starts with someone crying out to the Lord, to not abandon him. He goes on to describe a life of despair and sorrow, of hardships and bitter ridicule by his enemies.
Yet he does not stray in his prayer to the Lord.
He even, at one time, called himself a worm, but knew the Lord still loved him.
In the end, the Psalms reminds everyone of what the Lord did to the people of Israel. Even in dire despair, the speaker was relentless in what the Lord has done, is doing, and will do for future generations.
