A Large Place of Freedom
Commentators explain that being brought into "a large place" signifies God moving David from a state of being hemmed in by enemies and troubles to a place of freedom, safety, and liberty. This imagery can also allude to Israel's settlement in Canaan and ultimately points to the spacious freedom believers find in Christ.
