Love from the Soul
The psalmist's obedience isn't a grudging duty but flows from a deep, internal source. Commentators like John Gill and Albert Barnes explain that this love is "exceeding" because it comes from the "soul" and the "heart." It's a conscious, fervent affection for God's truth, not a mere external action done for selfish reasons.
