The psalmist, traditionally understood to be David, often found himself in situations requiring immediate divine intervention. This urgency is echoed in other Psalms, such as <a href="/psalms/70.htm">Psalm 70:1</a>, where David similarly cries out for swift assistance. The cultural context of ancient Israel was one where immediate threats, whether from enemies or personal afflictions, were common, necessitating quick responses. The plea for God to "come quickly" underscores the psalmist's reliance on God as his primary source of aid and protection, a theme prevalent throughout the Psalms.<p><b>O Lord</b><br>The use of "Lord" here is significant, as it translates to "Yahweh," the covenant name of God revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>. This name emphasizes God's eternal presence and faithfulness to His people. By invoking this name, the psalmist is appealing to the God who has historically been faithful to Israel, recalling the covenantal relationship that assures divine intervention and support. This invocation is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His role as the ultimate authority and protector.<p><b>my Savior</b><br>The term "Savior" highlights the psalmist's recognition of God as the one who delivers and redeems. In the Old Testament, God is frequently depicted as the deliverer of Israel, rescuing them from physical and spiritual adversities. This concept of God as Savior is foundational and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is recognized as the Savior of the world (<a href="/john/4-42.htm">John 4:42</a>). The psalmist's use of "my Savior" is personal, indicating a deep, individual relationship with God, and foreshadows the personal salvation offered through Christ. This phrase encapsulates the hope and trust placed in God for deliverance from all forms of distress.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/38.htm">Psalm 38</a>, David is expressing a deep sense of distress and a plea for God's intervention.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The Lord (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/savior.htm">Savior</a></b><br>A title for God, highlighting His role as deliverer and protector in times of trouble.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/urgency_in_prayer.htm">Urgency in Prayer</a></b><br>David's plea for God to "come quickly" teaches us the importance of urgency in our prayers, especially in times of distress.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>Recognizing God as "my Savior" emphasizes our need to rely on Him for deliverance and protection.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>Trust in God's character as a faithful Savior who hears and responds to our cries for help.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/persistent_faith.htm">Persistent Faith</a></b><br>Even in deep distress, maintain faith and continue to seek God's intervention and guidance.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/p/personal_relationship_with_god.htm">Personal Relationship with God</a></b><br>David's direct address to God as "my Savior" highlights the personal relationship we are invited to have with God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_38.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 38</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/meaning_of_'repent_and_believe'.htm">What is the 2024 Easter Bible reading plan?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_psalm_38_3_link_illness_to_anger.htm">How can Psalm 38:3 link physical sickness directly to divine anger without any natural or scientific explanation? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_archaeological_proof_of_david.htm">Psalm 63:1 mentions David in the wilderness of Judah--why is there no confirmed archaeological record of his presence there?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/bible's_view_on_feeling_overwhelmed.htm">What does the Bible say about feeling overwhelmed?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/38.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 22.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Make haste to help me, O Lord my Salvation</span> (see <a href="/psalms/22-19.htm">Psalm 22:19</a>; <a href="/psalms/31-2.htm">Psalm 31:2</a>; <a href="/psalms/40-13.htm">Psalm 40:13</a>; <a href="/psalms/70-1.htm">Psalm 70:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/71-12.htm">Psalm 71:12</a>, etc.).
