Psalm 119:72

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

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

See the chapter Copy

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

Truly I love your commandments more than gold, more than fine gold.

I delight in the way of your decrees as much as in all riches.

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

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

Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Happy are those who find wisdom and those who get understanding,

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

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