Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 22:9

"But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust [when I was] upon my mother`s breasts." — Psalms 22:9 (ASV)

But you are the one who took me out of the womb - I owe my life to you. This is urged by the sufferer as a reason why God should now interpose and protect him. God had brought him into the world, guarding him in the perils of the earliest moments of his being, and he now pleads that in the day of trouble God will interpose and save him.

There is nothing improper in applying this to the Messiah. He was a man, with all the innocent propensities and feelings of a man; and it cannot be denied that when on the cross—and perhaps with special fitness we may say when he saw his mother standing near him (John 19:25)—these thoughts may have passed through his mind. In the remembrance of the care bestowed on his early years, he may now have looked with an eye of earnest pleading to God, that, if it were possible, he might deliver him.

You made me hope - Margin, “Keptest me in safety.” The phrase in the Hebrew means, You caused me to trust or to hope. It may mean here either that he was made to cherish a hope of the divine favor in very early life, as it were when an infant at the breast; or it may mean that he had cause then to hope, or to trust in God. The former, it seems to me, is probably the meaning; and the idea is, that from his earliest years he had been led to trust in God; and he now pleads this fact as a reason why God should interpose to save him. Applied to the Redeemer as a man, it means that in his earliest childhood he had trusted in God.

His first breathings were those of piety. His first aspirations were for the divine favor. His first love was the love of God. This he now calls to remembrance; this he now urges as a reason why God should not withdraw the light of his countenance, and leave him to suffer alone. No one can prove that these thoughts did not pass through the mind of the Redeemer when he was enduring the agonies of desertion on the cross; no one can show that they would have been improper.

Upon my mother’s breast - In my earliest infancy. This does not mean that he literally cherished hope then, but that he had done it in the earliest period of his life, as the first act of his conscious being.
