Art. 2: "Oh my God! My god! Listen to me. Why hast thou forsaken me?" These are the words that Jesus Christ uttered while suffering on the Cross. "About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice: Eli, Eli! Lama Savahvani? that is: My God, My God! why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46).

Art. 7-9: "But I am a worm, and not a man, reproach among men and contempt among the people. All who see me mock me, speak with their lips, nod their heads: "He has trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him, if he is pleasing to him." These words are also a very accurate prophetic depiction of the Savior's sufferings on the Cross. "And those who passed by cursed Him, shaking their heads, and saying, 'He who destroys the temple, and builds in three days!' save thyself; if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise, the chief priests, with the scribes, and the elders, and the Pharisees, mocking, said, "He saved others, but he cannot save himself; if He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and let us believe in Him; he trusted in God; let him now deliver Him, if He is pleasing to Him" (Matt. 27:39-43).

Art. 15-17: "I poured out like water; all my bones are scattered; my heart was made like wax, melted in the midst of my inward parts. My strength has dried up like a potsherd; my tongue cleaveth to my throat, and Thou hast brought me down to the dust of death. For the dogs have surrounded me, the crowd of the wicked has surrounded me, they have pierced my hands and my feet." All this is very similar to the state of the crucified on the cross.

Art. 18-19: "All my bones could be numbered; but they look and make a spectacle of me; they divide my garments among themselves, and cast lots for my garments." The fact that the warriors who guarded the Savior divided His garments, casting lots, is narrated by all four Evangelists. "And those who crucified Him divided His garments, casting lots" (Matt. 27:35; see also Mk. 15:24; Lk. 23:34). The Evangelist John recalls the words of Psalm 21: "And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and divided Him into four parts, to each a war a part, and a tunic; The tunic was not sewn, but all woven on top. Therefore they said to one another, Let us not tear him asunder, but let us cast lots for him, whose it will be, that it may be fulfilled which is spoken in the Scriptures: They have divided my garments among themselves, and have cast lots for my garments. Thus did the wars" (John 19:23-24).

Art. 27: "Let the poor eat and be satisfied; let those who seek Him praise the Lord; May your hearts live forever!" This passage in patristic exegesis is regarded as a prophecy about the institution of the sacrament of the Eucharist. There is another interpretation, according to which it is about feeding the spiritually hungry with the preaching of the Gospel.

Art. 28-29: "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the nations of the Gentiles will worship before you, for the Lord is the Kingdom, and He is Lord over the nations." It speaks of the spread of Christianity among all the peoples of the earth.

Art. 30: "All the rich lands will eat and worship; all who descend into the dust and are not able to preserve their lives will bow down before Him." This verse is interpreted in the same way as 27.

Art. 31-32: "My descendants will serve Him, and will be called the Lord's forever: they will come and declare His righteousness to people who will be born, what the Lord has created." We are talking about the spiritual descendants of David, that is, about Christians.

Psalm 44.

In the Russian text there is an inscription: "To the head of the choir. On the (musical instrument) Shoshan. Teaching. The sons of Korah. Song of Love". "Shoshan" is a musical instrument in the form of a lily.

Slavonic inscription: "In the end. About the changeable. The son of Korah. Into the mind. The Song of the Beloved". "On the changeable" means that the psalm is performed on different, alternating musical instruments. These words are also interpreted allegorically. "Of the changeable" is implied: of people; for of all rational beings we are the most subject to daily, and almost hourly, changes and transformations."

The psalm is dedicated to an important event in the life of King Solomon – his marriage to the daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh. In addition to the historical meaning, the psalm contains a pro-educational, messianic meaning. Solomon here is a prototype of Christ the Savior. The image of the bride is considered as a prototype of the Most Holy Theotokos, as well as an indication of the Church of Christ and the human soul. The Holy Fathers interpret the image of the bride of the Song of Songs in the same way.
