Psalms 119:45 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts - Hebrew, 'I will walk at large:' the same Hebrew root х raahab (H7294)] as in Psalms 119:32, "when thou shalt enlarge my heart;" Psalms 118:5, "in a large place;" opposed to "a strait place," the straits in which the Psalmist was before. This is only realized fully under the Gospel "law of liberty "by those whom "the Son maketh free," and who, instead of "the spirit of bondage," have received "the spirit of adoption," and instead of "the spirit of fear," have that "of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7; Romans 8:15; John 8:36; James 1:25). These who walk on the king's guarded highway need not fear hurt. Now that I have been brought out of my straits, I need not turn to bypaths, but will walk in the broad path of thy law, which, though it seem narrow and thorny to the flesh, yet is a large place, easy and sure to the spirit and the regenerate conscience.
