Psalm 25:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 25:15

Mine eyes [are] ever towards the Lord
Not only as the God of nature and providence, for his daily support and supply, in which sense the eyes of all creatures wait upon him; but as his covenant God and Father, having the eyes of his understanding opened to see and know him as such, and the eye of his faith directed to him, to believe in him, and make him his hope and trust; and his eye was single to him; it was to him, and him only, that he looked; and it was constant, it was ever to him, he set the Lord always before him; and such a look was well pleasing to God: it may also respect the lifting up of his eyes to God in prayer for all mercies temporal and spiritual, and his prayer was the prayer of faith; as follows:

for he shall pluck my feet out of the net;
of the corruption of nature, and the lusts of it, as Aben Ezra interprets it; by which the saints are sometimes ensnared and taken captive, and out of which they cannot make their escape of themselves; but there is a deliverance from it by Jesus Christ their Lord: or out of the temptations of Satan, called his devices, and wiles, and the snares of the devil; and as the Lord knows how to deliver his out of temptations, he does deliver them in his own time; or rather out of the nets and snares laid for him by wicked men; as by his son Absalom, Ahithophel, and others, in which his feet were as a bird in the snare of the fowler; but he believed the net, or snare, would be broken, and he should escape, as he did.

Psalm 25:15 In-Context

13 Seine Seele wird im Guten wohnen, und sein Same die Erde besitzen.

14 Das Geheimnis Jehovas ist für die, welche ihn fürchten, und sein Bund, um ihnen denselben kundzutun.

15 Meine Augen sind stets auf Jehova gerichtet; denn er wird meine Füße herausführen aus dem Netze.

16 Wende dich zu mir und sei mir gnädig, denn einsam und elend bin ich.

17 Die Ängste meines Herzens haben sich vermehrt; führe mich heraus aus meinen Drangsalen!
