Eyes on God Alone
Commentators explain that this verse is a powerful declaration of exclusive dependence on God. In a moment of utter crisis, when human strength has failed and worldly solutions seem treacherous, the psalmist deliberately turns his "eyes"—his hope, faith, and expectation—solely to the Lord. This teaches believers to fix their gaze on God as their only source of help, wisdom, and deliverance, especially when circumstances seem hopeless.
