“Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure” (v5). Through the struggles and dramatic events of his life, the psalmist had learned that God “alone” was his security. Wealth, status, and health could be snatched away, and even close companions were not always reliable. He gave thanks for his blessings – his boundary lines had fallen in “pleasant places” – and recognized that, whatever his circumstances, lasting peace and joy came from the Lord. “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing” (v2). 

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord ... I will not be shaken” (v8). Keeping our eyes on Jesus means that when our world is in upheaval, we stand firmly on the Rock.
