Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. It has been well observed that "the act here described is not applicable either to David or to any personage whose history is recorded in the Bible, save to Jesus" ('Speaker's Commentary,' vol. 4. p. 221). Two evangelists (Matthew 27:35; John 19:24) note the fulfilment of the prophecy in the conduct of the soldiers at the crucifixion of Christ. The circumstance is reserved for the final touch in the picture, since it marked that all was over; the Victim was on the point of expiring; he would never need his clothes again.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) They part my garments . . .--i.e., as of one already dead. The word "garment" (beged) and "vesture" (leb-sh) are synonymous terms for the same article of dress--the modern abba, or plaid, the usual outer garment of the Bedouin. The latter is a more poetic term. (See Bib. Diet, art. "Dress.") The application of the verse in John 19:24, &c, adds a refinement not present in the psalm.
