Psalm 119:72

Modern English Version

The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

See the chapter Copy

More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, more than fine gold.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding than silver!

I rejoice at Your word like one who finds great spoil.

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver.

Your testimonies have I taken as my heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Moreover by them is Your servant warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding,

Wisdom is good as an inheritance, an advantage to those who see the sun.
