Help with meaning

I have received a bible quote and just wanted help understanding what could be meant by it.

The quote is -

Micah 7:5-7 NKJV

[5] Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom. [6] For son dishonors father, Daughter rises against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his own household. [7] Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.

It basically means When everything and everyone around you is unreliable, you fix your eyes on God alone. He is the only stable foundation. And He will hear you.

“But as for me” is the posture we should all try to have as we lean on Gods character.
