Echoes of "It Is Finished"

Multiple commentators, most notably Charles Spurgeon, highlight that the final phrase, "that he hath done it," can be translated as "It is finished." This powerfully connects the end of this prophetic psalm to Jesus's final, triumphant cry from the cross. The message to be declared for all time is that Christ has fully accomplished the work of redemption.
