Psalm 119:72

The Scriptures 1998

The Torah of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

See the chapter Copy

Your witnesses are my inheritance forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

Therefore I have loved Your commands More than gold, even fine gold!

I have rejoiced in the way of Your witnesses, As over all riches.

I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure.

More desirable than gold, Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

Also, Your servant is warned by them, In guarding them there is great reward.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is preferable to silver.

Blessed is the man who has found wisdom, And the man who gets understanding;

“My fruit is better than gold and fine gold, And my increase than choice silver.

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