Psalms 119:72

Compare all

70 ^aTheir heart is¹ as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

72 ^aThe law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

73 ^aYour hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

74 ^aThose who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.

Psalms 119:72

The law of thy mouth - The law which proceeds out of thy mouth, or which thou hast spoken.

Is better unto me - The Hebrew is, "Good to me is the law of thy mouth above thousands of gold and silver."

Than thousands of gold and silver - Than any amount of wealth. It is to me the most valuable possession; that which I prize above all other things. Compare the notes at Psalms 19:10.
