Context of Psalms 119:124
122Be the guarantee for Your servant for good [as Judah was the guarantee for Benjamin]; Do not let the arrogant oppress me. 123My eyes fail [with longing, watching] for [the fulfillment of] Your salvation, And for [the fulfillment of] Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your [gracious] lovingkindness, And teach me Your statutes. 125I am Your servant; give me understanding [the ability to learn and a teachable heart] That I may know Your testimonies. 126It is time for the Lord to act; They have broken Your law.

The psalmist expects the word of God's righteousness, and no other salvation than what is secured by that word, which cannot fall to the ground.
