Psalms 119:122
120 My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
121 I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.
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.
124 Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
