Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, etc.] From the innumerable evils which compassed him about; from sinful men, and from devils, signified by the sword, dog, and lion, (<192220>Psalm 22:20,21); 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 <192208>Psalm 22:8 18:19); O Lord, make haste to help me; (see Gill on “<192219>Psalm 22:19”).
