Psalm 119:72

New International Version

The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

See the chapter Copy

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 following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!

Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,

My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.

Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun.
