Psalms 119:32

Context

119:32 I run along the path of your commands,

for you enable me to do so. 1 

Psalms 119:133

Context

119:133 Direct my steps by your word! 2 

Do not let any sin dominate me!

1 tn Heb “for you make wide my heart.” The “heart” is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s volition and understanding. The Lord gives the psalmist the desire and moral understanding that are foundational to the willing obedience depicted metaphorically in the preceding line. In Isa 60:5 the expression “your heart will be wide” means “your heart will swell with pride,” but here the nuance appears to be different.

2 tn God’s “word” refers here to his law (see v. 11).
