What does Psalms 119:86 mean?

The psalmist is trapped between two realities: God's commands are completely trustworthy and true, yet people are hunting him down for no good reason. He's not saying his troubles contradict God's faithfulness, but rather he's clinging to it precisely because everything around him feels unjust. His cry for help isn't doubt, it's the natural response of someone who knows God is dependable and therefore believes God will actually hear him in his suffering.
