Psalm 70 - Come quickly, O Lord

Yet another cry for help. So if many of your prayers seem to be cries for help to God, then you are in good company. 
Verses 2-4 draw distinction between those who want to take David's life, and those who seek the Lord. Those who mock and delight in the downfall of others will end up in a bad place. But those who delight in the Lord will be filled with joy.
David puts himself in a different category, he is "poor and needy", and so calls on God to come quickly to his aid. There is nothing wrong in asking God to come quickly to help us.
