Psalms 119:32 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Run the way. — Plainly the psalmist means that he will not only be able to walk in the Divine way, but even to run in it when certain restraints are removed which now confine and check him. Hence we may understand, by the enlargement of the heart, not so much the expansion of the faculties as deliverance from oppressing fears, &c, as Psalms 4:1; Psalms 18:36, and render “when thou hast set my heart at large.” So the Prayer Book Version, “set my heart at liberty.”

Psalms 119:32

32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
