I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart - when thou shalt have completely delivered me out of my straits, "and set me in a large place" (Psalms 116:3; Psalms 118:5), and so made my heart enlarged with joy, (Psalms 119:45, margin) Enlargement of heart comprises the expansion produced by love (2 Corinthians 6:11); also by increased wisdom (1 Kings 4:29); also by delight (in contrast to the contraction of heart which grief produces), (Isaiah 60:5; Psalms 4:1; Psalms 18:36). "I will run," not slowly, but with alacrity and speed, through the wide race-course of thy commandments; not stationary, but straining every nerve to reach the goal of perfection (1 Corinthians 9:24; Galatians 5:7; Philippians 2:16; Philippians 3:12-14). Like the sun (Psalms 19:6).
