Psalm 22/Notes/Grammar.v. 10.896507
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
v. 10 – For the adversative interpretation of כִּי, see Jerome's autem (cf. "but" in the CEB, KJV, REB; and "yet" in the ESV, NASB, NIV). An alternative suggestion by Saadia, however, is that כִּי carries out its more standard function of a complementizer and continues the mockers' speech through to the end of v. 11: "They say that you are the one who took me out of the womb," etc. (see Qafaḥ 1965, 88).
