Psalm 119:45 and 47 are delightful lines: \u201cI will walk about at ease\u201d and \u201cI will delight in Your commandments.\u201d That first line is evocative.
\nThe notion is to walk in expansiveness, with room to spare, in freedom. The idea is \u201crelief\u201d (4:1), roominess for the feet as one walks (18:36), freedom from anguish (25:17), opening one\u2019s mouth so God can fill it (81:10), the vastness of the sea (104:25), and the boundlessness of God\u2019s commands (119:96).
\nThe commands, acc to the psalmist, liberate because one hears God, walks with God, and learns of God how to walk in this life. The commands are \u201croomy\u201d because they provide guidance and sure-footedness to the traveller. They are expansive because they give the observant the sense of confidence, of knowing where they are, as they wander through this life with God.
\nIt is delightful, the psalmist to be at ease with God in this world. It is Torah joy.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
