John Gill Commentary Psalms 22:13

"They gape upon me with their mouth, [As] a ravening and a roaring lion." — Psalms 22:13 (ASV)

They gaped upon me [with] their mouths
Either by way of derision and contempt, (Job 16:10); or belching out blasphemy against him, or rather, with the greatest vehemency, crying out "Crucify him, crucify him", (Luke 23:21) (John 19:6); and this they did

[as] a ravening and roaring lion,
when it has got its prey and rejoices, (Amos 3:4); and being in such hands, and encompassed about with such enemies, as Christ was in the garden, in the high priest's hall, and in Pilate's judgment hall, is a third reason or argument used by him with God his Father, to be near to him and not far from him.
