Psalms 119:127
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
119:127. As it was God’s time to work, so it was David’s time to love. So far from being swayed by the example of evil people, so as to join them in slighting the Scriptures, he was the rather led into a more vehement love of them. As he saw the commandments slighted by the ungodly, his heart was in sympathy with God, and he felt a burning affection for his holy precepts. It is the mark of a true believer that he does not depend upon others for his religion, but drinks water out of his own well, which springs up even when the cisterns of the earth are all dried. Wealth brings with it so many conveniences that people naturally esteem it, and God’s laws are more enriching, and bring with them more comfort than all the choicest treasures. The psalmist could not boast that he always kept the commands, but he could declare that he loved them.
