SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:12
Me han rodeado muchos toros; fuertes toros de Basán me han cercado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 21:12
Verse 12. Many bulls have compassed me ] The bull is the emblem of brutal strength, that gores and tramples down all before it. Such was Absalom, Ahithophel, and others, who rose up in rebellion against David; and such were the Jewish rulers who conspired against Christ. Strong bulls of Bashan ] Bashan was a district beyond Jordan, very fertile, where they were accustomed to fatten cattle, which became, in consequence of the excellent pasture, the largest, as well as the fattest, in the country. See Calmet. All in whose hands were the chief power and influence became David's enemies; for Absalom had stolen away the hearts of all Israel. Against Christ, the chiefs both of Jews and Gentiles were united.
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.
