“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. Psalms 25:16”
