From The Trinity Delusion
Psalm 22
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46.
Proof of the Trinity Error
Just before his death on the cross, Jesus uttered the opening words of the 22nd Psalm. At Matthew 27:41-43, Matthew also quotes verses 7-8 of the following Psalm as a fulfillment of this prophecy. See also Mark 15:29ff. and Luke 23:35ff.
​
It is very enlightening to read the entire Psalm in this context while realizing Jesus spoke those words in verse 1 and the prophecy at verses 7-8 was being fulfilled at the Cross.
The Evidence
Psalm 22
​
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried and were rescued;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
8 “He trusts in the LORD; let Him deliver him;
let Him rescue him, for He delights in him!”
9 Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
10 On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Be not far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help.
12 Many bulls encompass me;
strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
13 they open wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet
17 I can count all my bones
they stare and gloat over me;
18 they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, do not be far off!
O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog!
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
22 I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted,
and he has not hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he cried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will perform before those who fear him.
26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
May your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before you.
28 For kingship belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
even the one who could not keep himself alive.
30 Posterity shall serve him;
it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;
31 they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,
that he has done it.

This is fulfilled in Jesus when he was dying, and the scriptures said Jesus trusts in "The LORD" which is actually YHWH in the Hebrew and Jesus's God is YHWH. We know YHWH is the only God and there is no other God but YHWH. Jesus is not just trusting in the "the Father" (first person of the trinity) here, he's trusting in YHWH as his Father and only true God (John 17:3)
Jesus said the Shema like the rest of Israel and called it the "most important" commandment.
​
Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but HE: 33 And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
​
Jesus agrees with the scribe, that there is no other God but YHWH, and Jesus tells the scribe that he's not far from the kingdom of heaven. The scribe was a Jewish scribe and did not believe Jesus was God. If Jesus was God, then Jesus lied to this man saying he was not far from the kingdom of heaven and agreeing that there is only one God, his Father. Because we know from John 17:3 Jesus's only true God was his Father.
Conclusion
We know that this Psalm was fulfilled when Jesus died on the cross, and it shows that Jesus's Father was YHWH. We also know from John 17 that Jesus considers his Father the only true God. Therefore Jesus is telling us that his Father is YHWH.

John 20:17 Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"
