Psalms 119:126

“[It is] time for [thee], Lord, to work, etc.] 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 <390217>Malachi 2:17 3:1-3,15,16 4:2). Or to arise and have mercy on Zion, for which there is a fixed time: and its seems as if it would be when religion greatly declines, and profaneness abounds; when love is waxen cold, and there is no faith in the earth; and when the days are like those of Noah and Lot, (<421726>Luke 17:26,28…”

“It is time for thee, Lord, to work - literally, “Time to do for Yahweh;” and the construction might be either that it is time to do (something) for Yahweh; or, that it is time for Yahweh himself to do (something). The direct address to the Lord in the latter part of the sentence would seem, however, to show that the latter is the true interpretation: to wit, that since people make void the law of God, it is time for him to work, that is, to interpose by his power and restrain them; to bring them to repentance; to assert his own authority; to vindicate his cause. Thus understood, it is an appropriate prayer to be used when iniquity abounds, and when some special form of sin has an ascendancy…”

“To work - To put forth thy power for the restraint of evil - doers. They - The wicked. Made void - Or, abrogated thy law, have openly cast off its authority. Psalms 119:127”

“time: Psa 9:19, Psa 102:13; Gen 22:10, Gen 22:11, Gen 22:14; Deu 32:36; Isa 42:14 to work: That is, "to take vengeance," as asah signifies, Jer 18:23; Mal 3:17, by an ellipsis of the noun. When infidels, profligates, and Pharisees, "make void the law of God," generally, then it is time for God to arise to vindicate His own honour and maintain His cause among men. they: Jer 8:8; Hab 1:4; Mal 2:8; Mat 15:6; Rom 3:31, Rom 4:14 Psalms 119:127”
