My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
David does not waver and gaze about like the heathen, seeking help from the world while forsaking God; he directs all his desires and prayers to God alone. Nothing is more opposed to true prayer than to waver between the creature and the Creator.

Commenting on Psalm 25:1-22
Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord. The writer claims to be fixed in his trust, and constant in his expectation; he looks in confidence, and waits in hope. We may add to this look of faith and hope the obedient look of service, the humble look of reverence, the admiring look of wonder, the studious look of meditation, and the tender look of affection.
David's feet are caught in the net, entangled so he cannot free himself; his troubles multiply until his heart swells with melancholy and pain. Sense of sin afflicts him more than anything else, wounding his spirit and making all outward troubles weigh heavily upon him.
