ולא יתדמה כו' שמי שהוא אהוב מאד אצל האדם מרוב אהבתו אותו תמונתו דבוקה בלבו והתמונה הדבוקה בלב מצטיירת ומתדמה תמיד לפניו כאלו היא עומדת נגדו וזה פשט הכתוב שויתי ה' לנגדי תמיד: One who is very much beloved to someone, due to that person's great love, his picture will cleave to his heart. And the picture which clings to his heart becomes manifested and pictured before him always as if it were placed before him. This is the pshat (plain meaning) of the verse (Tehilim 16:8) "I have set G-d before me always". https://www.sefaria.org/Pat_Lechem,_Third_Treatise_on_Service_of_God.5.92
