Psalms 119:123
121 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.
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.
125 I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
