But be not thou far from me, O Lord,.... See Gill on
Psa 22:11
;
O my strength; Christ as God is the mighty God, the Almighty; as Mediator, he is the strength of his people; but, as man, God is his strength; he is the man of his right hand, whom he has made strong for himself, and whom he has promised his arm shall strengthen,
Psa 80:17
; and therefore he addresses him in this manner here, saying,
haste thee to help me; his help was alone in God his strength; there were none that could help him but he, and he seemed to stand afar off from helping him,
Psa 22:1
; and his case being so distressed, as is represented in the preceding verses, it required haste.
