These chapters are a prophesy and a lament for Tyre. It seems that Tyre was a sailors' town, where things from all over were traded and brought in. It goes on to talk of their ship being wrecked at sea and all those on board will cry out or abandon their ships and then weep.
This one, again speaks of God being his rock and his salvation, his fortress. He says he finds rest for his soul in God and that he trusts in him at all times telling us to pour out our hearts to God. The last line says that God rewards everyone according to what they have done. So, our actions, it seems, are how God will determine how we are rewarded, which makes me think we need to be mindful of this in our daily lives. And that we should be sharing ourselves with God, all that is in our hearts and minds should be shared with God daily, even though he knows what is in our hearts.

So it seems the city of Tyre is being destroyed because of their pride in their wealth. They cared more about their money than anything else.
Our souls wait for God alone and know that he is our salvation and savior.
