Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The motif of endurance and the enlarged heart (anticipating v.11) under affliction has loose verbal contact with the psalmist running the way of commandments 'when you enlarge my heart.' Faint; volume low and the connection is thematic, included for maximal coverage.
Low confidence'Our heart is enlarged' / 'be open wide' uses the idiom of the enlarged (widened) heart found in 'I will run the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart.' Volume low and the metaphor is common, but the shared verb of heart-widening gives a faint, plausible contact.
