The sufferings of Christ are clearly seen in the sufferings of David. The following verses give weight to this claim:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verse 4 and John 15.25<\/li>\n<li>Verse 8 and John 7.3\u20135<\/li>\n<li>Verse 9 with John 2.17 and Romans 15.3<\/li>\n<li>Verse 21 with Matthew 27.34, 48 and John 19.29<\/li>\n<li>Verses 22 and 23 with Romans 11.9-10<\/li>\n<li>Verse 25 with Acts 1.16-20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To read through this psalm with knowledge of what Christ went through is amazing for it is a color commentary on what He went through. Although this was written by David about one-thousand years before Christ, it is detailed in the account of what Christ went through.<\/p>\n<p>What we also sense in this psalm is a deep sense of urgency. David writes repeated please for God\u2019s presence. He asks God to save him (1), rescue him (14), answer him (16), quickly answer him (17), draw near to him (18), redeem him (18), free him (18), and protect him (29).<\/p>\n<p>Several attempts have been made to outline this psalm. I find a topical outline useful as an aid in understanding the psalm.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verses 1-4, 10-12, 19-21-David\u2019s lament<\/li>\n<li>Verses 5-9- David\u2019s protesting his innocence<\/li>\n<li>Verses 13\u201318, 22\u201329-David\u2019s requests to God<\/li>\n<li>Verses 30\u201336-David\u2019s gratitude<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another view of the same outline:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Verses 1-4-David\u2019s lament<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Verses 5-9- David\u2019s protesting his innocence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Verses 10-12-David\u2019s lament<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Verses 13\u201318-David\u2019s requests to God<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Verses 19-21-David\u2019s lament<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Verses 22\u201329-David\u2019s requests to God<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Verses 30\u201336-David\u2019s gratitude<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When we bring our concerns to God, He turns our mourning into joy.
