Psalm 119:72

New American Bible - revised edition

The law of your mouth is more precious to me than heaps of silver and gold.

See the chapter Copy

Your testimonies are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.

Truly I love your commandments more than gold, more than the finest gold.

I find joy in the way of your testimonies more than in all riches.

I rejoice at your promise, as one who has found rich spoil.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the Lord are true, all of them just;

More desirable than gold, than a hoard of purest gold, Sweeter also than honey or drippings from the comb.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is preferable to silver.

Happy the one who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding!

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

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance and profitable to those who see the sun.
