save us
Cry for rescue
Save us is a plea for rescue or deliverance, addressed to someone with power to help.
The phrase appears in religious contexts as a prayer Lord, save us, in emergencies as a desperate cry, and ironically to express exasperation with someone's behavior: Save us from people who think they know everything.
It can stand alone as an exclamation of dismay.
