Sometimes David makes it look easy to deal with your enemies, then there is Psalm 109---more than imprecatory? God give grace to stand in mercy, when tried. Help, Lord!

He seemed to have such thick skin about such things In this Psalm 109, I imagine Shimei (2Sam 16) and the emotions that were in his heart not to defend himself at such a time of degradation. He had endured women singing his praises and now he was enduring a low public opinion poll, so to speak. I don't think we should wish such ill on our enemies, but sometimes we do. I am hurt, Lord! was the sentiment.

Jesus understands our sorrow!
