Looking up seems to be the central focus of the Psalm. The contrast in the Psalm is between the conclusions that come when focus is placed on the visible -- particularly on the success of Godless people. The Psalm speaks deeply to my heart in any situation where I tend to draw hope for life (security, significance) in the created order. I don't always related to the Psalmist's condition, but I too often find my focus set on other's successes, or on what human/earthly thing that has become my "heart" and my "portion."
