Psalms 141:8

But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

141:8. But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord. He looked upward and considered the promise rather than the external providence; and he expected from God rather than from men. He did not shut his eyes in indifference or despair, neither did he turn them to the creature in vain confidence, but he gave his eyes to his God, and saw nothing to fear.

In thee is my trust. Not alone in thine attributes or in thy promises, but in thyself.

Leave not my soul destitute, as it would be if the Lord did not remember and fulfill his promise. To be destitute in circumstances is bad, but to be destitute in soul is far worse; to be left of God would be destruction.
