And bhis descendants shall inherit the earth.

Psalms 25:15

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 Psalms 9:15-16, note; Psalms 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.
