His trust in God is fixed.
net--is frequently used as a figure for dangers by enemies (Psa 9:15; Psa 10:9). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord - This is an indication of the habitual state of mind of the psalmist. He had said that God would lead and guide those who were meek, gentle, teachable, humble; and he now says that this was his habitual state of mind. He constantly looked to God. He sought His direction. In perplexity, in doubt, in difficulty, in danger, in view of death and the future world, he looked to God as his guide. In other words, in reference to himself, he carried out the principles which he had stated as constituting true religion. It was a religion of dependence on God, for man's only hope is in him.
For he shall pluck my feet out of the net - Margin, "bring forth." Compare Psa 9:15-16, note; Psa 10:9, note. The "net" here is that which had been laid for him by the wicked. He trusted in God alone to deliver him from it. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| He who keeps his eyes constantly directed towards God (Psa 141:8; Psa 123:1), is continually in a praying mood, which cannot remain unanswered. תּמיד corresponds to ἀδιαλείπτως in Th1 5:17. The aim of this constant looking upwards to God, in this instance, is deliverance out of the enemy's net. He can and will pull him out (Psa 31:5) of the net of complicated circumstances into which he has been ensnared without any fault of his own. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Pluck - He will deliver me out of all my troubles. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord - All my expectation is from him alone. If I get at any time entangled, he will pluck my feet out of the net. |
