I rejoice in the lifestyle prescribed by your rules as if they were riches of all kinds.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
Praise the Lord! How blessed is the one who obeys the Lord, who takes great delight in keeping his commands.
I claim your rules as my permanent possession, for they give me joy.
For this reason I love your commands more than gold, even purest gold.
I rejoice in your instructions, like one who finds much plunder.
I will find delight in your commands, which I love.
The law you have revealed is more important to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. י (Yod)
May I experience your compassion, so I might live! For I find delight in your law.
As your words came to me I drank them in, and they filled my heart with joy and happiness because I belong to you.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.
