Gill's Notes on the Bible
But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord,.... Not only the eyes of his body, lifted up to God in prayer, this being a prayer gesture, John 11:41; but the eyes of his mind, or understanding, especially the eyes of faith and love; for it is expressive of his affection to God, his holy confidence in him, and humble hope and expectation of good things from him, in this his time of distress: his eyes were to him and him only, both for temporal food for himself and his men; and for spiritual food, for all supplies of grace, for wisdom and direction, for strength and assistance, for protection and deliverance;
in thee is my trust; not in himself, nor in his friends, nor in any creature, prince or potentate, but in the Lord, as the God of nature, providence, and grace; to which he was encouraged by his lovingkindness to him; by the everlasting strength in him; by what he had done for others and for him in times past; by the provisions he has made in his covenant and promises for those that trust in him, who are of all men most happy;
leave not my soul destitute; of daily food, of help and assistance, of the presence, spirit, and grace of God; or "naked" g, and defenceless, but let it be surrounded or protected by almighty power and grace; or "pour not out my soul" h, that is, unto death; suffer me not to be taken by enemies and slain; see Isaiah 53:12. The Targum is,
"in the Word (of the Lord) I trust, do not empty my soul,''
or "evacuate" i it, as Aben Ezra; that is, out of his body; for he observes, that the soul fills the body.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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. I believe that he “will” interpose; and now that my enemy has placed himself in this position, I do not need to resort to stealthful arts - to dishonorable acts - to assassination - as my friends advise, but the object will be accomplished, and I shall be placed on the throne by the act of God, and in a manner that will not subject my name and memory to reproach by a base and treacherous deed.
In thee is my trust - I rely on thee alone.
Leave not my soul destitute - My life; my all. Do not now leave me without thy gracious interposition; do not suffer this juncture to pass by without such an interposition as will end the war, and restore peace to me and to a distracted land.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 141:8. But mine eyes are unto thee — In all times, in all places, on all occasions, I will cleave unto the Lord, and put my whole confidence in him.
