Ahab is said to be the King that defies the Lord the most. He marries Jezebel, a woman that he is not allowed to marry and she convinces him to worship Baal, so he has the Israelites worshiping a false God. We also meet Elijah, the prophet, and hear about the works he does for God after telling Ahab that there would be a drought in the land for the sins that he has committed.
This psalm is one that I am sure a lot of people have experienced many times where one is wondering when God will answer their prayers and take care of the bad things happening or going on in their lives. God does work in his time, not ours and there is sometimes weariness that comes, and part of that could be that God is testing our trust to see if we will give up. There are definitely people in the Bible that experienced a lot of struggle but never gave up on God, and in turn he showed them to be righteous in how they handled such adversity.

More about the kings and then Elijah. Elijah appears to be chosen by God and follows his instruction.
This psalm seems to be asking where God has gone and asking for his return. I can see your interpretation in that we are not patient in waiting for God to answer prayer.
