Psalms 119:32

I run along the path of your commands, for you enable me to do so. ¹ 

I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.

I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart.

If you will help me, I will run to follow your commands.

I'll run the course you lay out for me if you'll just show me how.

I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.

I run the way of your commandments, for you enlarge my understanding.

I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.

I run along the path of your commands, for you enable me to do so. ¹ 

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.
