It is time for the Lord to act, for they have broken Your law.
Psalm 119:126

The psalmist has not been bashful in talking about his enemies and how oppressive they are to him. There have constantly been those who have done everything they could to destroy him, and they have certainly made his life exceedingly difficult.

We experience the opposition of the wicked in our own culture. Some experience the direct assault of wicked people in their lives as they seek to represent the Lord. Virtually every true believer is impacted by wicked people who are in places of authority, imposing their vile principles on everyone.

In this verse, the psalmist is calling on the Lord to act because wicked people are breaking God’s law. It is one thing for wicked people to hate us and to treat us disdainfully, but it is quite another thing when they think they can break God’s law without consequences.

Wicked people often live with a false sense of confidence that they will never be held accountable to a higher authority. They may think that because they choose not to believe that there is a holy God or that they will ever face Him. Yet, regardless of what they believe, the truth is this: they will face a holy God.

Peter says it this way:

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”
2 Peter 3:3–4

But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:7

A day is coming when the Lord will act!
