Being human substantiates a divided heart. In this psalm, David speaks of it as traveling down a path. Whether it be a "path of sinners" or being lead down the "right path for His name's sake". It is natural to travel in the path of sinners but one needs to be guided to travel down His path. If I am trusting in God's guidance through His Holy Spirit, walking in the Spirit, then my heart will not be divided. Knock and the door will be opened. Blessings to all.
