Hezekiah does seem much more faithful to God than his forefathers. At the precipice of attack, he tells his people, "Be strong and courageous, do not dismay..." the Lord God is with us. He has faith and trust that the Lord will get them through this trial. If I understand the end correctly, the Lord is testing him to see if he will continue to stay faithful or if he will fall. I believe that we may learn that later in another chapter.
This is asking God to hurry and help save him.

It does appear that Hezekiah is faithful to God, unlike some of his ancestors. He remained faithful until the end of his life when there seems to have been a misstep and pride crept in. God then puts him to the test. I wonder what happened and if we will learn about it later.
The psalm is asking for God's help quickly.
