Dear Steve,
I just read that during the last hour of Jesus' crucifixion his consciousness was slipping and his dying mind had resorted to repeating Psalms 20-22 which he had memorized. Though he was too weak to recite their entirety, his mind repeated these verses over and over into its finality. Those observing his death could see his lips moving and so would catch the occasional utterance, “I know the Lord will save his anointed,” “Your hand shall find out all my enemies,” and “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
It is recorded he endured severe physical harm up to the point of being nailed to the cross, had collapsed on the hike to his deathbed from exhaustion and died on the cross from the physical, emotional and spiritual anguish after hanging there for 5 and a half hours.
