About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Ok, well Jesus might not have been referencing a Psalm, but I thought this was really cool and the first part kinda fits the situation when Jesus was on the cross:
Psalm 22 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+22&version=NIV).
Verse 6 might be questionable, but since at that time he took on the sins of the world, he probably looked worse than a worm through God's eyes. :-\

JESUS quoted much of the Old Testament ;as do the New Testament writers.I think a lot of LUKE's writings show JESUS quoting or expounding on the O.T.;when HE gave the DEfinitive sermon on ISIAH 61-the crowd(church crowd)wanted to throw HIM off the cliff.
PSALMS 22 is clearly JESUS prophesying HIS OWN death by the cross thru the HOLY SPIRIT by the O.T. prophets about seven hundred years BEFORE HIS birth;in a manner the Jews would not have known of.PSALMS 22,23,24 are excellent tools to witness to Jews with ISIAH 53 because of that fact.
hope it helps

:) Yes, the scene of Calvary was a fulfullment of Psalm 22.
Luke 24:44
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
