John Gill Commentary Psalms 22:18

"They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots." — Psalms 22:18 (ASV)

They part my garments among them
Such as died the death of the cross were crucified naked ^F8, and their clothes were the perquisites of the executioners; there were four soldiers concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, and these parted his garments into four parts, and everyone took his part;

and cast lots on my vesture;
which was a seamless coat, wove from the top to the bottom; and therefore, not willing to rend it, they cast lots upon it who should have it; all this was exactly fulfilled in Christ, (John 19:23John 19:24).
