THE MESSAGE
Soften up, God , and intervene; hurry and get me some help, So those who are trying to kidnap my soul will be embarrassed and lose face, So anyone who gets a kick out of making me miserable will be heckled and disgraced, So those who pray for my ruin will be booed and jeered without mercy.

Contextual Overview
11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Jehovah; let Your lovingkindness and Your truth always watch over me. 12 For evils have surrounded me until there is no number; my iniquities have taken hold on me and I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me. 13 Be pleased to deliver me, O Jehovah; hasten to my help. 14 Let those seeking my soul to destroy it, be ashamed and humbled together; let those delighting in my evil be driven back and disgraced. 15 Let them be desolate until it is the reward for their shame; for they are saying to me, Aha! Aha! 16 Let all who are seeking You be glad in You and always say, May Jehovah be magnified, those loving Your salvation. 17 But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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; 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;
O Lord, make haste to help me; Psalms 22:8- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me - That is, in these troubles and sorrows. See Matthew 26:39. The prayer is that, if possible, the cup of sorrow might be taken away.
O Lord, make haste to help me - This is the same form of prayer, and referring, I suppose, to the same occasion as that which occurs in Psalms 22:19. See the notes at that verse.
