A Prophetic Cry from the Cross
Commentators widely interpret this verse as a prophetic cry from Jesus on the cross. They identify the 'servant' as Christ, who, in His moment of greatest 'distress,' experienced the Father 'hiding His face' as He bore the weight of the world's sin. This plea for a speedy answer highlights the immense agony of that redemptive moment.
