Psalm 119:72

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

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

See the chapter Copy

Thy testimonies are my heritage for ever; yea, they are the joy of my heart.

Therefore I love thy commandments above gold, above fine gold.

In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.

I rejoice at thy 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 thy servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

To get wisdom is better than gold; to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding,

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

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