Psalms 119:121
119 All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
122 Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.
123 My eyes fail, looking for Your salvation, and for Your righteous promise.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
