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 Lord , do not hold back your mercy from me; let your love and truth always protect me. 12 Troubles have surrounded me; there are too many to count. My sins have caught me so that I cannot see a way to escape. I have more sins than hairs on my head, and I have lost my courage. 13 Please, Lord , save me. Hurry, Lord , to help me. 14 People are trying to kill me. Shame them and disgrace them. People want to hurt me. Let them run away in disgrace. 15 People are making fun of me. Let them be shamed into silence. 16 But let those who follow you be happy and glad. They love you for saving them. May they always say, "Praise the Lord !" 17 Lord, because I am poor and helpless, please remember me. You are my helper and savior. My God, do not wait.

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.
