Psalms 35:13 (KJV)
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

There are, I think, three representations of David in relationship to his enemies:
When they attacked, he prayed aggressively against themHe knew it was without cause and he had zero qualms about seeking God’s intervention against them. The bulk of this Psalm is made up of such prayers.

When they were afflicted he poured out his heart for themHis goal was not their destruction but their friendship. He would fight when he had to but he would beg God sincerely on their behalf when they needed it.
In public speaking he addressed only the righteousness and goodness of GodWhatever was his issue with his enemies was taken up privately in prayer. When he spoke publicly he avoided the issue be focusing on the glories of God.
