SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:21

Sálvame de la boca del león, y de los cuernos de los unicornios líbrame.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 21:21

Verse 21. Save me from the lion's mouth ] Probably our Lord here includes his Church with himself. The lion may then mean the Jews; the unicorns, µymr remin (probably the rhinoceros,) the Gentiles. For the unicorn, see the note on Num. xxiii. 22. There is no quadruped or land animal with one horn only, except the rhinoceros; but there is a marine animal, the narwhal or monodon, a species of whale, that has a very fine curled ivory horn, which projects from its snout. One in my own museum measures seven feet four inches and is very beautiful. Some of these animals have struck their horn through the side of a ship and with it they easily transfix the whale, or any such animal. The old Psalter says, "The unicorn es ane of the prudest best that es, so that he wil dye for dedeyn if he be haldyn ogayn his wil."

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 22-31 - The Saviour now speaks as risen from the dead. The first words of the complaint were used by Christ himself upon the cross; the first word of the triumph are expressly applied to him, Heb 2:12. All our praise must refer to the work of redemption. The suffering of the Redeemer wa graciously accepted as a full satisfaction for sin. Though it wa offered for sinful men, the Father did not despise or abhor it for ou sakes. This ought to be the matter of our thanksgiving. All humble gracious souls should have a full satisfaction and happiness in him Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness in Christ, shall no labour for that which satisfies not. Those that are much in praying will be much in thanksgiving. Those that turn to God, will make conscience of worshipping before him. Let every tongue confess that he is Lord. High and low, rich and poor, bond and free, meet in Christ Seeing we cannot keep alive our own souls, it is our wisdom, by obedient faith, to commit our souls to Christ, who is able to save an keep them alive for ever. A seed shall serve him. God will have church in the world to the end of time. They shall be accounted to his for a generation; he will be the same to them that he was to those wh went before them. His righteousness, and not any of their own, the shall declare to be the foundation of all their hopes, and the fountai of all their joys. Redemption by Christ is the Lord's own doing. Her we see the free love and compassion of God the Father, and of our Lor Jesus Christ, for us wretched sinners, as the source of all grace an consolation; the example we are to follow, the treatment as Christian we are to expect, and the conduct under it we are to adopt. Ever lesson may here be learned that can profit the humbled soul. Let thos who go about to establish their own righteousness inquire, why the beloved Son of God should thus suffer, if their own doings could aton for sin? Let the ungodly professor consider whether the Saviour thu honoured the Divine law, to purchase him the privilege of despising it Let the careless take warning to flee from the wrath to come, and the trembling rest their hopes upon this merciful Redeemer. Let the tempte and distressed believer cheerfully expect a happy end of every trial __________________________________________________________________
