I wonder what circumstances made this very real for David in Psalm 70:

Make haste, O God, to deliver me;
make haste to help me, O Lord.

Let all those that seek thee
rejoice and be glad in thee:
and let such as love thy salvation
say continually,
Let God be magnified.

But I am poor and needy:
make haste unto me, O God:
thou art my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, make no tarrying.

Amen.
