Psalms 119:126
It is time for the LORD to act, for they have broken Your law.
BSB
ASV
It is time for Jehovah to work; For they have made void thy law.
KJV
It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
It is time for thee, Lord, to work,.... To send the Messiah, to work righteousness; to fulfil the law, and vindicate the honour of it, broken by men. It was always a notion of the Jews that the time of the Messiah's coming would be when it was a time of great wickedness in the earth; and which seems to agree with the word of God, and was true in fact; see Mal 2:

Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and issue oppressive decrees,
He thwarts the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands find no success.

Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!
