¹¹ O go not far fro me, for trouble is harde at hande: and there is none to helpe me. ¹² Many oxen are come about me: fat [bulles] of Bashan close me in on euery syde. ¹³ They gape vpon me with their mouthes: as it were a rampyng and a roryng lion. ¹⁴ I am as [it were] into water resolued, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart also is like waxe melted in the middest of my bowels. ¹⁵ My strength is dried vp like a potsheard, & my tongue cleaueth to my gummes: and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For dogges are come about me, the assemble of the wicked lay siege agaynst me: they haue pearced my handes and my feete, ¹⁷ I may tell all my bones. They stande staring & gasing vpon me: ¹⁸ they part my garmentes among them, and they cast lottes vpon my vesture. ¹⁹ But be not thou farre from me O God: thou art my strength, make haste to helpe me. ²⁰ Delyuer my soule from the sworde: and my dearlyng from the dogges pawes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Save me from the lion's mouth,.... Either the devil, who is as a roaring lion, whom Christ overcame both in the garden and on the cross, and destroyed him and his works; or all his wicked enemies, especially the most powerful of them, who were in greatest authority, as the chief priests and elders; so rulers and civil magistrates, who are cruel and unmerciful, are compared to lions, Proverbs 28:15;

for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns; some read this as a prayer like the former, "hear thou me" l, c. that is, deliver me but according to our version it expresses what God had done, that he had heard him and saved him; and is used as a reason or argument with him that he would regard also his other petitions: or it may have respect to what follows, that since God had heard him, and delivered him out of the hands of his most powerful enemies, therefore he would declare his name and praise him; for the unicorn being a very strong creature, and its strength lying much in its horn, with which it pushes and does mischief; see Numbers 23:22. Christ's strong and potent enemies are intended here; such as Satan and his principalities and powers, the sanhedrim of the Jews, Herod, Pontius Pilate, and others, from whose power he was freed when raised from the dead. According to Pliny m, the monoceros, or unicorn, is the fiercest of wild beasts; in its body like a horse, it has the head of an hart and feet of an elephant, the tail of a bear, makes a great bellowing; has one black horn rising up in the middle of the forehead, of two cubits long; it is denied that it was ever taken alive, which agrees with Job 39:9;

Job 39:9- : and

Job 39:9- :.

l עניתני "exaudi me", Muis, Gejerus, Michaelis. m Nat. Hist. l. 8. c. 21.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Save me from the lion’s mouth - His enemies represented as fierce and ravening lions, compare Psalms 22:13,

For thou hast heard me - The word “heard” in this place is equivalent to “saved” - or saved in answer to prayer. The fact of “hearing” the prayer, and answering it, is regarded as so identical, or the one as so certainly following from the other, that they may be spoken of as the same thing.

From the horns of the unicorns - The idea here is, that he cried to God when exposed to what is here called “the horns of the unicorns.” That is, when surrounded by enemies as fierce and violent as wild beasts - as if he were among “unicorns” seeking his life - he had called upon God, and God had heard him. This would refer to some former period of his life, when surrounded by dangers, or exposed to the attacks of wicked men, and when he had called upon God, and had been heard. There were not a few occasions alike in the life of David and in the life of the Saviour, to which this would be applicable. The fact that he had thus been delivered from danger, is now urged as an argument why God was to be regarded as able to deliver him again, and why the prayer might be offered that he would do it; compare Psalms 22:9-11. To see the force of this it is not necessary to be able to determine with accuracy what is meant here by the word rendered unicorn, or whether the psalmist referred to the animal now denoted by that term. The existence of such an animal was long regarded as fabulous; but though it has been proved that there is such an animal, it is not necessary to suppose that the psalmist referred to it. Gesenius renders the word - ראם r^e'êm - “buffalo” (Lexicon) So also DeWette. See the notes at Job 39:9-10, where the meaning of the word is fully considered. The word occurs elsewhere only in Numbers 23:22; Numbers 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Psalms 29:6; Psalms 92:10; Isaiah 34:7, in all which places it is rendered “unicorn,” or “unicorns.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 22:21. 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, רמים remin (probably the rhinoceros,) the Gentiles. For the unicorn, Numbers 23:22. 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."
