THE PSALTER READING Psalm 22 (Responsively) HEAD Sermon Notes My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me? All who see me mock me; they wag their heads; He trusts in the LORD; let Him deliver him; let Him rescue him, for He delights in him! They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. You who fear the LORD, praise Him! For He has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. They shall come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn. HEART HANDS
