SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:16
Porque perros me han rodeado, me ha cercado cuadrilla de malignos; horadaron mis manos y mis pies.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 21:16
Verse 16. For dogs have compassed me ] This may refer to the Gentiles, the Roman soldiers, and others by whom our Lord was surrounded in his trial, and at his cross. They pierced my hands and my feet ] The other sufferings David, as a type of our Lord, might pass through; but the piercing of the hands and feet was peculiar to our Lord; therefore, this verse may pass for a direct revelavion. Our Lord's hands and feet were pierced when he was nailed to the cross, David's never were pierced.
But there is a various reading here which is of great importance. Instead of wrak caaru, they pierced, which is what is called the kethib, or marginal reading, and which our translators have followed; the keri or textual reading is yrak caari, as a lion. In support of each reading there are both MSS.
and eminent critics. The Chaldee has, "Biting as a lion my hands and my feet;" but the Syriac, Vulgate, Septuagint, AEthiopic, and Arabic read, "they pierced or digged;" and in the Anglo-Saxon the words are, : "They dalve (digged) hands mine, and feet mine." The Complutensian Polyglot has wrak caaru, they digged or pierced, in the text; for which it gives hrk carah, to cut, dig, or penetrate, in the margin, as the root whence wrak is derived. But the Polyglots of Potken, Antwerp, Paris. and London, have yrak caari in the text; and wrak caaru is referred to in the margin; and this is the case with the most correct Hebrew Bibles. The whole difference here lies between y yod and w vau.
which might easily be mistaken for each other; the former making like a lion; the latter, they pierced. The latter is to me most evidently the true reading.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-21 - In these verses we have Christ suffering, and Christ praying; by whic we are directed to look for crosses, and to look up to God under them The very manner of Christ's death is described, though not in use amon the Jews. They pierced his hands and his feet, which were nailed to the accursed tree, and his whole body was left so to hang as to suffer the most severe pain and torture. His natural force failed, being wasted by the fire of Divine wrath preying upon his spirits. Who then can stan before God's anger? or who knows the power of it? The life of the sinner was forfeited, and the life of the Sacrifice must be the ranso for it. Our Lord Jesus was stripped, when he was crucified, that he might clothe us with the robe of his righteousness. Thus it wa written, therefore thus it behoved Christ to suffer. Let all thi confirm our faith in him as the true Messiah, and excite our love to him as the best of friends, who loved us, and suffered all this for us Christ in his agony prayed, prayed earnestly, prayed that the cup migh pass from him. When we cannot rejoice in God as our song, yet let u stay ourselves upon him as our strength; and take the comfort of spiritual supports, when we cannot have spiritual delights. He prays to be delivered from the Divine wrath. He that has delivered, dot deliver, and will do so. We should think upon the sufferings an resurrection of Christ, till we feel in our souls the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings.
