Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me
From the innumerable evils which compassed him about; from sinful men, and from devils, signified by the sword, dog, and lion, ( Psalms 22:20 Psalms 22:21 ) ; and from the power and dominion of death and the grave; all which was done when he was raised from the dead, and as the fruit and effect of God's well pleasedness in him, and with what he did and suffered; see ( Psalms 22:8 ) ( 18:19 ) ;

O Lord, make haste to help me; (See Gill on Psalms 22:19).
