Following the agonizing cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" in the opening verse of Psalm 22, David goes on to make a repeated request of God in both verses 11 & 19: "Do not be far from me". For David the greatest comfort is God's presence. The experience of not being alone. So also the most terrifying feeling is that of forsakenness.
