Save us we pray – often in OT prayers were made due to impending danger. Saved from circumstances, but also saved from sin. Greek is harmartia – sin is both ‘to miss’ and also ‘a personality flaw which will inevitably lead to your downfall.’ 

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin is something that you are and not just something that you do. Jesus came to save us from what we do, but also from what we are. Salvation is to equip us to live in complete harmony with God.
