Contradiction with Isaiah 40:31
While Psalms 119:81 expresses waiting and seeking deliverance, Isaiah 40:31 indicates that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength and not feel the longing and faintness described in Psalms 119:81.

Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:9
Psalms 119:81 focuses on longing and dependency for deliverance, contrasting with 2 Corinthians 12:9, which offers the resolution of grace being sufficient and strength being made perfect in weakness.

John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
