I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.
Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.
Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,
I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.
for I delight in your commands because I love them.
The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight.
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, Lord God Almighty.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
