Ps. 70: Kill my Enemies, Save Me

Psalm 70:5 "Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay."

The 70th Psalm is brief, and to me it seems like the epilogue to the 69th Psalm. Another Psalm asking for deliverance. In fact, the chapter is identical to the final 5 verses of Psalm 40. David asks for the destruction of his enemies, who were really meant originally to be on his side. He asks for their destruction, and for his own preservation, and he wants the LORD to hurry. Patience isn't really a strong suit. But in desperation, who can claim patience as a virtue? Not me.
