They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And Thou dost lay me in the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.

Most of it is from Psalms 22 and it does refer to Jesus Christ. His hands and feet were nailed to the cross and they did cast lots for HIs robe. Do not let HIS death be in vain ....make sure you have accepted HIS payment for your sin...check the link below.

Wasn't that the Old Testament, in prophesy of the Crucifixion?

Sounds like the Crucifixion from Jesus' viewpoint.

If Im not mistaken that was from king david in psalms....it is symbolic of Christ's death on the cross.

It means you are probably reading the scripture about the foretelling of Jesus' crucifixion.

This means that an Old Testament prophecy was fulfilled!
