Contextual Overview
To the director: To the tune "The Deer of Dawn." A song of David.
My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help! 2 My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me. 3 God, you are the Holy One. You sit as King upon the praises of Israel. 4 Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them. 5 They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed! 6 But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me. 7 Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me. 8 They say, "Call to the Lord for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you so much, surely he will rescue you!" 9 God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world. You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother's breasts. 10 You have been my God since the day I was born. I was thrown into your arms as I came from my mother's womb.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
All they that see me laugh me to scorn,.... To the afflicted pity should be shown; but instead or pitying him in his distresses they laughed at him; this must be understood of the soldiers when they had him in Pilate's hall, and of the Jews in general when he hung upon the cross; some particular persons must be excepted, as John the beloved disciple, the mother of our Lord, Mary Magdalene, and some other women, who stood afar off beholding him;
they shoot out the lip; or "open with the lip" y; they made mouths at him, they put out their lips, or gaped upon him with their mouths, and in a way of sport and pastime made wide mouths and drew out their tongues, as in Job 16:10;
they shake the head, [saying]; in a way of scorn and derision, as in Lamentations 2:15. This was fulfilled in the Jews, Matthew 27:39.
y יפטירו בשפה "hiatum fecerunt labiis suis", Grotius; "they make a mow with their lip", Ainsworth.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All they that see me laugh me to scorn - They deride or mock me. On the word used here - לעג lâ‛ag - see the notes at Psalms 2:4. The meaning here is to mock, to deride, to treat with scorn. The idea of laughing is not properly in the word, nor would that necessarily occur in the treatment here referred to. How completely this was fulfilled in the case of the Saviour, it is not necessary to say. Compare Matthew 27:39, “And they that passed by, reviled him.” There is no evidence that this literally occurred in the life of David.
They shoot out the lip - Margin, “open.” The Hebrew word - פטר pâṭar - means properly “to split, to burst open;” then, as in this place, it means to open wide the mouth; to stretch the mouth in derision and scorn. See Psalms 35:21, “They opened their mouth wide against me.” Job 16:10, “they have gaped upon me with their mouth.”
They shake the head - In contempt and derision. See Matthew 27:39, “Wagging their heads.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 22:7. Laugh me to scorn — They utterly despised me; set me at naught; treated me with the utmost contempt. Laugh to scorn is so completely antiquated that it should be no longer used; derided, despised, treated with contempt, are much more expressive and are still in common use.
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head — This is applied by St. Matthew, Matthew 27:39, to the conduct of the Jews towards our Lord, when he hung upon the cross; as is also the following verse. But both are primarily true of the insults which David suffered from Shimei and others during the rebellion of Absalom; and, as the cases were so similar, the evangelist thought proper to express a similar conduct to Jesus Christ by the same expressions. These insults our Lord literally received, no doubt David received the same.
