Psalms 119:85

83 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?

The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.

86 All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me!

87 They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken Your precepts.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
