Psalms 141:8

"For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute."

Key Reflection

This verse expresses deep trust and reliance on God, indicating that the psalmist seeks divine protection and intervention. By declaring that God's eyes are upon him and imploring not to be left destitute, the psalmist underscores a profound need for God’s constant presence and care in times of distress.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord -My hope is in thee. I do not rely on my own power. I do not trust in my armed forces. I know that they are weak, dispirited, scattered - like strewed bones - like the chips and splinters lying around the place where wood is chopped. I look, therefore, solely to God.
