Radak on Psalms
My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me ? – (The address) in the singular refers to the people of Israel as a whole, for they were as one man in exile and of one mind. My God, my God: the repetition is after the manner of those who call out and cry, as: "Hear me, O Lord, hear me" (1 Kings 18:37); "Abraham, Abraham" (Gen. 22:11); "Moses, Moses" (Exod. 3:4). Israel says also אלי (my God or my Strength), meaning: Thou wast my Strength and my Rock before, and now, why hast Thou forsaken me ?
