Psalm 119:33-48

In verses 44 and 45 the poet speaks of walking in the wide place because of his obedience to God's word. How does this jive with Jesus' well know proclamation of the narrow road of obediencea(Matthew 7:13-14)? Can we harmonize the psalmist wide place with the saviors narrow way? I think we can. I haven't looked at the Greek and Hebrew for these two passages, but I think my conflict arises because I tend to focus on the adjective rather than the noun. The noun in verse 45 of the psalm is a place. That gives me the idea of a destination. I think back to Abram as he travelled west from his homeland. God said he would lead him to a land but it wasn't until Abram was there that he knew he had arrived. And what did God show him when he came to the place of God's promise? A wide place (Genesis 13:14-17). It was a place of rest. But how did he get there? It was by traveling the narrow road of obedience that he arrived where God wanted him. I think we can harmonize this part of the psalm and Jesus' words in Matthew this way; Jesus focused on the journey while the psalmist focused on the destination. At least that makes sense to me.
It took me just a couple of minutes to read this portion of Psalm 119.
