Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

DARLING . Psalms 22:20 ‘Deliver my darling from the power of the dog’; Psalms 35:17 ‘rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.’ The Heb. word ( yâhîdh ) means an only son. In the Psalms it is used poetically of the psalmist’s own life, as his unique and priceless possession.
