Psalms 119:83
81 My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.
82 My eyes fail, looking for Your promise; I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
84 How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
