The Torah from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and altogether righteous.
Therefore I love Your mitzvot more than gold, more than pure gold.
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.
I rejoice in Your word, as one who finds great spoil.
My fruit is better than refined gold, my harvest better than choice silver.
Your testimonies I have as a heritage forever, for they are my heart’s joy.
I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies above all wealth.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, more than much pure gold! They are sweeter than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding.
Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, and even better for those who see the sun.
